Michael Joseloff writes: “I am now retired from a career as a television news and documentary producer and have published my first book, Chasing Heisenberg: The Race for the Atom Bomb. I became interested in the subject around 30 years ago when I produced a story about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the ‘father of the atom bomb,’ for The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour on PBS. In the years that followed, researching the history of the bomb and the competition between Allied and German scientists to build it first became a sort of hobby. Retirement afforded me the time to write, but it was a 1939 photograph of scientists at a University of Michigan physics symposium, taken a month before the launch of World War II, that gave me the one thing I lacked: a compelling, untold narrative that would breathe new life into an old story. My book is available on Amazon.”
