When the FBI Bugged–as MGM Badgered– “The Father of the Atomic Bomb”
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2025
Abstract
J. Robert Oppenheimer, scientific director of the Manhattan Project, became one of the most famous and influential public figures in the world following the emergence of the revolutionary new weapon, the atomic bomb, which was dropped over two Japanese cities in August 1945. Soon, however, he would be harassed by a Hollywood studio for permission to portray him in a big budget movie, and shadowed by the FBI because of his links to former Communists.
