The Oppenheimer Case - The Trial of a Security System by Charles Curtis
The Notable Trials Library Collector's Edition Leatherbound Hardcover in very good condition (as pictured).
Bound in leather with gold stamping on cover/spine, gilded page edges, hubbed spine and ribbon bookmark.---In one of the most notorious episodes of the McCarthy era, the eminent physicist Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, director of the Los Alamos Laboratory during WWII, head of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and adviser to the Atomic Energy Commission, was stripped of his security clearance, stemming from an accusation that he was a soviet spy. Oppenheimer had, in fact, never revealed any secrets, but among other things his opposition to the development of the hydrogen bomb and past associations with Communists and Communist sympathizers were enough to brand him as a traitor. In the spring of 1954, closed hearings were held by the Personnel Security Board to determine Oppenheimer's Loyalty.
