Yet, In 1953, Oppenheimer Was Denied Security Clearance Amidst Allegations That He Was 'More Probably Than Not' An 'Agent Of The Soviet Union.' Determined To Clear His Name, He Insisted On A Hearing Before The Atomic Energy Commission'S Personnel Security Board.In The Matter Of J. Robert Oppenheimer Contains An Edited And Annotated Transcript Of The 1954 Hearing, As Well As The Various Reports Resulting From It. Drawing On Recently Declassified Fbi Files, Richard Polenberg'S Introductory And Concluding Essays Situate The Hearing In The Cold War Period, And His Thoughtful Analysis Helps Explain Why The Hearing Was Held, Why It Turned Out As It Did, And What That Result Meant, Both For Oppenheimer And For The United States.Among The Forty Witnesses Who Testified Were Many Who Had Played Vitally Important Roles In The Making Of U.S. Nuclear Policy: Enrico Fermi, Hans Bethe, Edward Teller, Vannevar Bush, George F. Kennan, And Oppenheimer Himself.
