Customer Reviews

Fascinating but very disturbing

The history and personalities are fascinating. The science is informative. The horrors that the author describes were more than I could continue reading.

Black comedy

This book bordered on the surreal due to Sakharov's irony free style. He would describe some craziness involving KGB interference in his life or Soviet life in general and then suddenly break off to describe theoretical quantum physics for three pages. This juxtaposition between the irrational and rational makes the book unexpectedly comic at times.
