Publisher's Synopsis
From the author of the award-winning Visions of Linus Pauling comes this riveting sequel that chronicles four pivotal but under-studied aspects of Pauling's epic life:Drawing on years of archival investigation, hours of interviews and hundreds of source materials, Chris Petersen offers readers an extraordinarily unvarnished view of Linus Pauling as never before - a young man, a bold division chair, and an intrepid explorer whose unorthodox ideas and fiery activism drew stormy interactions with friends and enemies alike.
