FIRST EDITION. 215 x 147 mm. 8vo. xvi, 219 pp. Bibliog., index. Gray cloth, dust-jacket. Ownership signature. Very good. Haakon Maurice Chevalier was an American writer, translator, and professor of French literature at the University of California, Berkeley best known for his friendship with physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, whom he met at Berkeley, California in 1937. Oppenheimer's relationship with Chevalier, and Chevalier's relationship with a possible recruiter for Soviet intelligence, figured prominently in a 1954 hearing of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission on Oppenheimer's security clearance. At that hearing, Oppenheimer's security clearance was revoked. [Wikip.].

FIRST EDITION OF THE AUTHOR'S ACCOUNT OF HIS FRIENDSHIP WITH J. ROBERT OPPENHEIMER, "The Father of the Atomic Bomb". Haakon Chevalier's relationship with Oppenheimer was forefront in the investigations by both the FBI and the Manhattan Project's internal security arm for Oppenheimer's past left-wing associations. His association with Chevalier, who was compromised, along with his opposition to the development of the Hydrogen Bomb, resulted in the revocation of his security clearance. When Oppenheimer was stripped of his position and his political influence in 1954, he symbolized for many the folly committed by scientists presuming they could control how others might use their research. For Haakon Chevalier, the 'Incident' meant the end of his career at Berkeley or at any other institution in the United States. He would live out the remainder of his life in France.

Robert Oppenheimer figured in the latter's downfall. Oppenheimer was manipulated into naming names of the Berkeley leftist circles in which he once swirled, including names of his longtime friends. Chevalier was, consequently, falsely accused of being a communist spy.
