Suggest you read next: “The Making of the Atomic Bomb” by Richard Rhodes and “American Prometheus” by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin (bigraphy of Oppenheimer). They’ll be great follow-ons!

Thank you! Shall do.

I received a college prep education, achieved multiple college degrees, but other than hearing about these scientists in passing, wasn’t encouraged to read or learn about them and their achievements. I had aptitude for science and math too ((not enough to pursue careers in them, but plenty to appreciate and understand).
