It feels like the whole product manager experience and the first ~1/3 of the book is very focused on who should be and how to be a product manager. The rest is about what to do though each section is not very deep.
Good but read The Making of the Atomic Bomb instead
The bomb is used halfway through this book and the rest is about the tragedy of the McCarthy era. It includes a play-by-play of terrible moments in anti-communist fear mongering. It's worthwhile history though not nearly as interesting as the complexities of Oppenheimer's success in leading scientists with competing egos under immense pressure.
Some incredibly relevant insights on human nature, the aspects that change and the aspects that don't.
Be someone or do something
This is a new favorite for me. So many life lessons in here. Coram does a great job of making it clear how Boyd's priorities and work ethic influenced everyone around him, especially his family. It's unforgivable even as it's obvious that he was a hero and one of the most influential thinkers of all time.
