Genius in the Shadows : A Biography of Leo Szilard : The Man Behind the Bomb by William Lanouette. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780684190112.

A detailed but highly accessible account of the life and work of the great scientist (1898-1964) associated both with the development of nuclear power and, later, with its control based on some 200 interviews, exclusive family records and photos, archival research, and more than 300 personal letters from Szilard to his wife that were discovered in 1987. Lanouettes (senior energy policy analyst, US GAO) collaborator, Bela Silard, is Leo Szilards brother. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
