520 2  "No single figure embodies Cold War science more than the 
       renowned physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Although other 
       scientists may have been more influential in establishing 
       the institutions and policies of the nuclear age, none has
       loomed larger in the popular imagination than the 'father 
       of the atomic bomb.' Americans have been drawn to the 
       story of the Manhattan Project Oppenheimer helped lead and
       riveted by the McCarthy-era politics that caught him in 
       its crosshairs. Journalists and politicians, writers and 
       artists have told Oppenheimer's story in many different 
       ways since he first gained notoriety in 1945. In 
       Storytelling and Science, David K. Hecht examines why they
       did so, and what they hoped to achieve through their 
       stories. From the outset, accounts of Oppenheimer's life 
       and work were deployed for multiple ends: to trumpet or 
       denigrate the value of science, to settle old scores or 
       advocate new policies, to register dissent or express 
       anxieties. In these different renditions, Oppenheimer was 
       alternately portrayed as hero and villain, establishment 
       figure and principled outsider, 'destroyer of worlds' and 
       humanist critic. Yet beneath the varying details of these 
       stories, Hecht discerns important patterns in the way that
       audiences interpret, and often misinterpret, news about 
       science. In the end, he argues, we find that science 
       itself has surprisingly little to do with how its truths 
       are assimilated by the public. Instead its meaning is 
       shaped by narrative traditions and myths that frame how we
       think and write about it"--Provided by publisher.
