Críticas:

"The most commanding history yet written of the internal politics of the United States during the early years of the nuclear age . . . an enthralling narrative." --The New York Times Book Review

"The story is well-crafted and meticulously researched, drawing on recently declassified FBI files and documents, and it moves at a helter-skelter pace . . . a gripping account of three tangled lives." --The Washington Post World

"A well-written, well-documented, exciting and yet unhappy tale of a crucial encounter between science and politics." --Los Angeles Times

Reseña del editor:

A portrait of Robert Oppenheimer, Ernest Lawrence, and Edward Teller traces the personal stories of three top figures in the foundation of the nuclear age, considering how the loyalties of each man played a significant part in history and the sometimes wrenching choices each had to make when their allegiances came into conflict.
