Found a good book about Oppenheimer

I’m really excited to see this movie! I wanted to know more about the subject, and was looking on Amazon 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! Lots of information for a cheap price.

Well, I read the sample pages on Amazon, and they were good, so I bought the audiobook and listened to it while doing some yard work today. The author may not be a Professional Historian™️, but he did a good job! A lot of interesting details, and he made the science understandable.
