A new biography by Kai Bird and Susan Goldmark, 'American Scoundrel,' argues that lawyer Roy Cohn fundamentally shaped Donald Trump’s political and business tactics. The book details Cohn’s role in McCarthy-era witch hunts, his ties to organized crime, and his mentorship of a young Trump, offering a fresh perspective on the origins of modern populist politics.
Kai Bird, co-author of the book that inspired Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer," has praised the upcoming film, saying it will be a "stunning artistic achievement" and hopes it will stimulate a national conversation about issues such as living in the atomic age, McCarthyism, and the role of scientists in society. "Oppenheimer" is a biographical film about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist who led the Manhattan Project in creating the atomic bomb, and stars Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, and Florence Pugh. It will be released on July 21.
