A monumental effort.” New York Review of Books
An excellent piece of science writing. . . . Cassidy does not so much exculpate Heisenberg as explain him, with a transparency that makes this biography a pleasure to read.” Los Angeles Times
Cassidy has written the definitive biography of a great and tragic physicist.” Richard Rhodes, author of the Pulitzer Prizewinning The Making of the Atomic Bomb

In Beyond Uncertainty, Cassidy interprets this and other previously unknown material within the context of his vast research and tackles the vexing questions of a scientist’s personal responsibility and guilt when serving an abhorrent military regime.
