Description
Summary:In this "superbly researched and well-written book" (Time), Powers concludes that Werner Heisenberg, the leading figure in the German atomic effort, consciously obstructed the development of the bomb and in a famous 1941 meeting in Copenhagen sought to dissuade the Allies from their pursuit of the bomb.
