The book is a collection of memoirs on famous Soviet physicists of the 20th century, such as Tamm, Vavilov, Sakharov, Landau and others. The memoirs were originally written in Russian by E L Feinberg. The narrative is situated within a remarkably well-described historical, cultural and social context. Of special interest are the chapters devoted to Soviet and German atomic projects.

Industry Reviews

The book contains a collection of memoirs on the famous Soviet scientists Mandelstam, Tamm, Sakharov, Vavilov, Leontovich, Mintz and Landau. The portraits are strongly situated within the political, cultural and social context. They are insofar very authentic as the author was close to some of the persons he wrote about and could observe others long enough to understand their behavior. -- Zentralblatt MATH "Zentralblatt MATH"
