I don't remember how this book ended up in my Audible queue -- neither physics nor biographies are usually my thing -- but it was there, and so I listened. I found it interesting, but not particularly so. I suspect that for people who are more interested in the history of modern physics, and Paul Dirac in particular, it would be more worthwhile.

An OK book, but not the easiest to read. It does provide a good recap of Churchill’s career during the development of the nuclear bomb.

Excellent biography. Recommended for anyone interested in quantum mechanics. No special knowledge of science is required. The author presents a good sense of the personality of Dirac, remarkable because Dirac usually spoke little. You get also introductions to other quantum physicists: Einstein, Planck, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Born, Bohr, de Broglie, Fermi, Feynman, Jordan, Oppenheimer, Pauli, Rutherford, Bose and others.
