The scientists Leo Szilard, Edward Teller, and Eugene Wigner enlist Albert Einstein to get Franklin Roosevelt to initiate the development of the atomic bomb. Along with John von Neuman, who pioneers the computer, they succeed in achieving that goal before Nazi Germany, ending the Second World War, and opening a new age.Arthur Koestler writes the most important anti- Communist novel of the century, Darkness at Noon. Robert Capa is the first photographer ashore on D-Day. He virtually invents photojournalism and gives us some of the century's most enduring records of modern warfare.Andre Kertesz pioneers modern photojournalism, and Alexander Korda, who makes propaganda films for Churchill, leaves the stark portrait of a post war Europe with The Third Man, as his fellow filmmaker, Michael Curtiz, leaves us the immortal Casablanca, a call to arms and the most famous romantic film of all time.Marton brings passion and breadth to these dramatic lives as they help invent the twentieth century. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Jews|zHungary|zBudapest|vBiography. 650 0 Jews, Hungarian|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Exiles|zHungary|zBudapest|vBiography. 650 0 Exiles|zHungary|zBudapest|xHistory|y20th century. 700 1 Fields, Anna,|d1965-2006. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 10756979?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781400123094_180.jpeg
