J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) was an American physicist credited as the “father of the atomic bomb” for his role in the Manhattan Project during World War Two. After the war, he was chairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. During the 1950s red scare ‘witch hunts’, he was wrongly accused of communist affiliations and stripped of government positions and his security clearance. The false accusations were made against him because he opposed global nuclear proliferation. He was cleared of all charges after his death.
