Galloway, a mesmerizing orator, swatted away the thinly supported allegations and turned the tables on his accusers for conducting "the mother of all smoke screens." "I told the world your case for war was a pack of lies," he thundered. "In everything I said about Iraq, I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong, and 100,000 people paid with their lives." Can he keep up the fire-works?

Two years in, he only carried a gaunt 115 pounds on a 5-foot-10-inch frame, and his four-to-five pack-a-day cigarette habit did not help his health. These chapters in the book center on the physicists’ lives while leaving the scientific aspects on the backburner—a focus that most readers will find to be an asset rather than a liability...
