商品描述

"Full of fascinating characters, deeds of heroic daring . . . [a] powerful book." -- New York Times

One of the last secrets of World War II is why the Germans failed to build an atomic bomb. Germany was the birthplace of modern physics; it possessed the raw materials and the industrial base; and it commanded key intellectual resources. What happened?

In Heisenberg's War, Thomas Powers tells of the interplay between science and espionage, morality and military necessity, and paranoia and cool logic that marked the German bomb program and the Allied response to it. On the basis of dozens of interviews and years of intensive research, Powers concludes that Werner Heisenberg, who was the leading figure in the German atomic effort, consciously obstructed the development of the bomb and in a famous 1941 meeting in Copenhagen with his former mentor Neils Bohr in effect sought to dissuade the Allies from their pursuit of the bomb. Heisenberg's War is a "superbly researched and well-written book" (Time) whose extraordinary story engrosses-and haunts.

「充滿迷人的角色和英勇的事蹟……[一本] 強而有力的書。」-- 《紐約時報》

第二次世界大戰最後的秘密之一是為什麼德國未能建造原子彈。德國是現代物理學的發源地；它擁有原材料和工業基礎；並且擁有關鍵的智力資源。究竟發生了什麼？

在《海森堡的戰爭》中，托馬斯·鮑爾斯講述了科學與間諜活動、道德與軍事必要性，以及偏執與冷靜邏輯之間的相互作用，這些特徵標誌著德國的原子彈計劃及其對盟軍的回應。根據數十次訪談和多年的深入研究，鮑爾斯得出結論，德國原子彈計劃的主要人物維爾納·海森堡故意阻礙了原子彈的發展，並在1941年與他的前導師尼爾斯·玻爾在哥本哈根的著名會議中，實際上試圖勸阻盟軍追求他們的原子彈。《海森堡的戰爭》是一本「研究精湛且文筆優美的書」（《時代》），其非凡的故事令人著迷且揮之不去。
