Abstract :
Robert Oppenheimer´s brother has long deserved a biography of his own. Now he has one, by the respected science writer K.C. Cole. Something Incredibly Wonderful Happens tells the story, from the perspective of a longtime confidante, of the younger brother of the man who led the American effort to create the atomic bomb.
