Thx, The Madman and the Movement by PBS✔️

Try to see this new MSNBC documentary ⭕To End All War, Oppenheimer and the Atomic Bomb Released on July 4 2023 Streaming on NBC Peacock✔️

IMO, the only #oppenheimer docs to see/read/listen to is that doc and 2005 book ⭕#americanprometheus by #kaibird

The #rightwing crushed Oppi and damaged our ability as a society to debate honestly about scientists, like what they did to #fauci

And radioactive contamination in the world

NEW documentary by MSNBC released on July 4 2023 Can see it streaming on NBC Peacock
This 2005 book as text or audio is very good it won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography

As I get close to finishing American Prometheus, a piece from one of its authors on Oppenheimer, ignorance & arrogance, and the ongoing legacy of those who kneecapped - nigh on decapitated - a scientist; "we've had enough of experts" is an example of Britain's (small c) conservatives following America's right wing lead to this day.
If you shoot the messenger, you'll find out too late what they had to say.

bookwyrm.socialAmerican Prometheus - BookWyrmAmerican Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer is a biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin published by Alfred A. Knopf in 2005. Twenty-five years in the making, the book was awarded the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography. It also won the 2008 Duff Cooper Prize, Chicago Tribune Best Book of the Year, and Discover Magazine Best Science Book of the Year. The book was compiled and researched for two decades by Martin J. Sherwin before Kai Bird was brought on to put it together in a cohesive and readable format. The book's title refers to the legend of Prometheus, as mentioned in Scientific Monthly in September 1945: "Modern Prometheans have raided Mount Olympus again and have brought back for man the very thunderbolts of Zeus." It is 721 pages from start to finish in the May 2006 paperback edition, but it also includes 32 pages of photographs. The first edition also has 721 pages. The book is set to be adapted into the 2023 biographical film Oppenheimer.
