Review
From the reviews of the first edition:
"J. Michael Cole translated this biography, which appeared in German on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the death of Otto Hahn. … the description of the life and thinking of this great scientist is fascinating and thrills everyone who takes an interest to read it. … the chronological course of events in his life, career, and his thinking is presented in such a gripping style, that it is hard to put the book down." (K.-E. Hellwig, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1069, 2005)
