I knew of the atomic bombings from the Japanese side but going into this book I didn't know about Oppenheimer (the “father of the atomic bomb”) so I learnt a lot. However at 600 pages this book is very dense, which I guess serves its purpose as a very-detailed biography. I do wish it was a bit easier to read, though!
