Michelmore, The Swift Years

Not sure that this article is the right place to park a list of Oppenheimer biographies but I just added Nuel Pharr Davis's Lawrence and Oppenheimer which is pretty good. It was favorably reviewed by the NYT, though less favorably by Robert Oppenheimer's brother Frank.

Does anyone have thoughts about adding Peter Michelmore's The Swift Years: The Robert Oppenheimer Story? My physics teacher recommened it to me in high school but I never managed to read it as far as I remember. I managed to find some online snippets just now and it looks ok. 2601:644:8501:AAF0:4043:7961:893C:EC1 (talk) 23:47, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Virgin Islands???

[1]. User:Schiller12 were you testing us? After the security hearing, Oppenheimer stayed on as IAS director, and Freeman Dyson said he was happier and did a better job at IAS since he was no longer in Washington so much. 2601:644:8501:AAF0:1C9:AA55:A6C6:5855 (talk) 06:49, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
