Physicists: Epoch And Personalities

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.
