American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird, Martin J. Sherwin
Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.

Might come back to this one but the length was intimidating

How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them by Jason Stanley

0.25

Immediately put it down after it defended Zionism. How the fuck are you gonna write a book about fascism and defend Zionism? FUCK that. It also said that white people suddenly not being overrepresented is "painful." Is it?? IS IT?? Just a racist book. Read WEB DuBois instead.
