Michael Joseloff, an Emmy Award–winning television news and documentary producer (The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, CBS News productions, and several cable programs), published a book in March. The Greatest Scientific Gamble: A Story of Impossible Odds, Rival Scientists, and the Atomic Bomb tells a little-known story about the launch of World War II when former friends—the German physicist Werner Heisenberg, architect of Germany’s atom bomb program, and Manhattan Project scientists Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, and Sam Goudsmit—squared off in a high-stakes race to build the atom bomb.
