Description

As a young Roman student, Enrico Fermi began studying when the first incredible explanations of atomic physics had gained acceptance. He was able to build upon this work to such an extent that he participated in all the following stages of the discovery of atomic energy. So essential and even decisive was his role that he can be regarded as responsible for its discovery and control. Pierre de Latil tells Fermi's story from those early days to his winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1938 to leaving Italy for America to working on the atomic bomb in the 1940s and beyond.
