To his supporters he was a hero of the Cold War, to his detractors he was evil personified, but no matter which way you look at it, Edward Teller aka The father of the H-Bomb was one of the 20th centurys most influential scientists. Judging Edward Teller is a definitive biography that presents a balanced portrait of the multifaceted and enigmatic scientist set against the backdrop of one of the most chaotic periods in the history of the world. Drawing on previously undiscovered archival material from Hungarian, American and German sources it provides fresh insights into Tellers motivations, his pivotal role in the creation of the H-bomb, his turbulent relationship with friends and colleagues, his damaging testimony against physicist Robert Oppenheimer, and the legacy of his scientific genius.
