It was 1946. The war had just ended with the defeat of the Axis and the unconditional surrender of Japan but the echo of the bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki still reverberated in every corner of the Earth.
It was from the blood of those tens of thousands of victims that Oppenheimer, as chief scientist of the Manhattan Project, thought his hands were stained.
