I want to talk about the part where it mentions that Robert Oppenheimer is mentioned to be sympathetic to communism. I thought that it should be more alarming to the workers of the Manhattan Project and on how he could be working as a spy for the Soviets. What did you think?
ReplyDeleteI think that it was alarming because the only reason that Robert in the director is because general Groves wanted to be in the position, and he was the highest ranking person at the project.
