"The untold story of an eccentric Wall Street tycoon and the circle of scientific geniuses he assembled before World War II to develop the science for radar and the atomic bomb. Together they changed the course of history.

Legendary financier, philanthropist, and society figure Alfred Lee Loomis gathered the most visionary scientific minds of the twentieth century—Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Niels Bohr, Enrico Fermi, and others—at his state-of-the-art laboratory in Tuxedo Park, New York, in the late 1930s. He established a top-secret defense laboratory at MIT and personally bankrolled pioneering research into new, high-powered radar detection systems that helped defeat the German Air Force and U-boats."

Living History by Hillary Rodham Clinton

McCullough does a wonderful job telling their stories and capturing their personalities. He conveys what motivated them and what was most important to them. Their family of origin was near the top. Both men were products of their time and place. The world was ready for the first airplane and the brothers had the resources and the freedom to study and experiment until they created it.
The events leading up to their triumph caused me to wonder about fate and destiny. The two brothers’ lives, characters, and interests dovetailed and contained the perfect ingredients required to conquer the competition to accomplish the first successful mechanical flight. Both men were highly intelligent, had keen minds for engineering (without college degrees), and had solid business instincts that helped them crack the requirements for human flight and profit from their efforts.
Of course, there is a dark side to humans conquering the air, and McCullough hints at what’s to come, alluding to H. G. Wells’s
