"All the new evidence from long-closed Russian archives, and declassified American projects like Venona, has settled many of the most vexing espionage cases of the Cold War. The Rosenbergs were guilty of spying; so, too, were Alger Hiss, Harry Dexter White, and the dozens of government employees whom Elizabeth Bentley accused of being Soviet agents. The only major controversy that remains concerns Robert Oppenheimer, the brilliant scientist who oversaw the construction of the atomic bomb at Los Alamos during World War II." (WEEKLY STANDARD) This article reviews a new book about J. Robert Oppenheimer, focusing on his position as head of the Manhattan Project to the revocation of his security clearance because it was deemed he was a security risk.
