Description
Leo Szilard has long been overshadowed by such luminaries as Einstein, Oppenheimer, and Enrico Fermi - with whom he designed the first nuclear reactor in 1942. In this widely acclaimed biography, William Lanouette presents an excellent portrait of the shy, witty, eccentric Szilard who lived both sides of the arms race: working first to prevent, then to hasten, and finally to outlaw nuclear weapons.
