520    The story of the twentieth century is largely the story of
       the power of science and technology. Within that story is 
       the incredible tale of the human conflict between three 
       men-Robert Oppenheimer, Ernest Lawrence, and Edward Teller
       -the scientists most responsible for the advent of weapons
       of mass destruction. How did science, enlisted in the 
       service of the state during the Second World War, become a
       slave to its patron during the Cold War-and scientists 
       with it? The story of these three men, is fundamentally 
       about loyalty-to the country, to science, and to each 
       other-and about the wrenching choices that had to be made 
       when these allegiances came into conflict. Gregg Herken 
       gives us the behind-the-scenes account based upon a decade
       of research, interviews, and new documents. Brotherhood of
       the Bomb is a vital slice of American history told 
       authoritatively-and grippingly-for the first time
