Set against the backdrop of 1932, a pivotal year in physics, the narrative captures the excitement of groundbreaking discoveries like the neutron and antimatter, alongside the ominous rise of totalitarianism in Europe. Gino Segrè, a physicist, provides an intimate and passionate exploration of the scientific community's triumphs during a time of impending global turmoil.
