More detailed than the movie and is in linear in time line. Not bouncing back and forward. Loved the physics theory in here remind my days studying physics at uni. This book really gave you the story and background Robert with a few cameo chapters of other physicist that interacted with Robert. This book really explains why American scientists don't work for government over corporations, universities and other private enterprises. It is a wonderful look into a great man and a interesting challenging time.
