Cassidy's groundbreaking biography of Werner Heisenberg, \u003ci\u003eUncertainty\u003c\/i\u003e, was published to resounding acclaim from scholars and critics. Michael Frayn, in the \u003ci\u003ePlaybill\u003c\/i\u003e of the Broadway production of \u003ci\u003eCopenhagen\u003c\/i\u003e, referred to it as one of his main sources and \"the standard work in English.\" Richard Rhodes (\u003ci\u003eThe Making of the Atom Bomb\u003c\/i\u003e) called it \"the definitive biography of a great and tragic physicist,\" and the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e praised it as \"an important book. Cassidy has sifted the record and brilliantly detailed Heisenberg's actions.\" No book that has appeared since has rivaled \u003ci\u003eUncertainty\u003c\/i\u003e, now out of print, for its depth and rich detail of the life, times, and science of this brilliant and controversial figure of twentieth-century physics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince the fall of the Soviet Union, long-suppressed information has emerged on Heisenberg's role in the Nazi atomic bomb project. In \u003ci\u003eBeyond Uncertainty\u003c\/i\u003e, Cassidy interprets this and other previously unknown material within the context of his vast research and tackles the vexing questions of a scientist's personal responsibility and guilt when serving an abhorrent military regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid C.
