New York: Hill and Wang, 1977. Later printing. Trade paperback. Good. 127, [1[ pages. This is a Spotlight Dramabook. Translation of In der Sache J. Robert Oppenheimer This was published in German in 1964. J. Robert Oppenheimer (April 22, 1904 February 18, 1967) was an American theoretical physicist and professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley. Along with Enrico Fermi, he is often called the "father of the atomic bomb" for his role in the Manhattan Project, the World War II project that developed the first nuclear weapons. The first atomic bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945, in the Trinity test in New Mexico; Oppenheimer remarked later that it brought to mind words from the Bhagavad Gita: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." After the war he became a chief advisor to the newly created United States Atomic Energy Commission and used that position to lobby for international control of nuclear power to avert nuclear proliferation and an arms race with the Soviet Union. After provoking the ire of many politicians with his outspoken opinions during the Second Red Scare, he had his security clearance revoked in a much-publicized hearing in 1954, and was effectively stripped of his direct political influence; he continued to lecture, write and work in physics. A decade later President John F. Kennedy awarded (and Lyndon B. Johnson presented) him with the Enrico Fermi Award as a gesture of political rehabilitation. Kipphardt uses the facts taken from the published transcript to present some fundamental issues which face the world today--the conflict between the responsibility of the individual to his country and to humanity as a whole, the right of the patriot to express views at odds with those of his government without his loyalty being called into question. Oppenheimer's notable achievements in physics include the Born Oppenheimer approximation for molecular wavefunctions, work on the theory of electrons and positrons, the Oppenheimer Phillips process in nuclear fusion, and the first prediction of quantum tunneling. With his students he also made important contributions to the modern theory of neutron stars and black holes, as well as to quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and the interactions of cosmic rays. As a teacher and promoter of science, he is remembered as a founding father of the American school of theoretical physics that gained world prominence in the 1930s. After World War II, he became director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton." From Wikipedia, using a translation application: "Henry "Heinar" Mauritius Kipphardt (born 8 March 1922 in Heidersdorf, Silesia, died 18 November 1982 in Munich) was a German writer, and important representative of documentary theater. The greatest notoriety gained its time-critical spectacles In the Matter J. Robert Oppenheimer and Adolf Eichmann.

From 1928-1932, where he attended the village school and then different high schools. In the family Heinar is the only child with a close relationship to the mother and the father tense. Heinar is described as "unruly" and "rowdy".

This is the original printing of the. the hearing called to determine if Oppenheimer was a security risk. But the importance of the document goes far beyond the considered question of whether to terminate his security clearance: The testimony spans Oppenheimer's personal life from the 1920s to the 1950s, reflects the broader political and scientific stirrings of this period, and raises issues that remain central today. The document develops all these themes. it is a compelling human portrait, an eyewitness history of some of the most important events to the century, and a flashback to one of the points of origin of our present concerns with the arms race and government decision making, conscientious dissent and national loyalty.", Washington, D.C., [PU: United States Government Printing Office]<
