Oppenheimer book

I like to read books before seeing non-fiction movies. I’m really excited to see Oppenheimer! I wanted to know more about the subject, and was looking for books, but they’re all really long and expensive. Then I found one that is only 51 pages if you read it, and only 92 minutes if you listen to the audiobook version. It’s called “Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project” by Brad Carty, and it’s really good! It talks a little about Oppenheimer's life, a little about the science (easy to understand), and a little about history.

Thank you! I think I will. I'm mostly interested in history.

51 pages? For a guy who helped change the world?

Dude, invest in something with a little more weight.

What happened to him afterward is the real story in my humble opinion.
