In 1992, David Cassidy's groundbreaking biography of Werner
Heisenberg, Uncertainty, was published to resounding acclaim from
scholars and critics. Michael Frayn, in the Playbill of the Broadway
production of Copenhagen, referred to it as one of his main sources
and "the standard work in English." Richard Rhodes (The Making of the
Atom Bomb) called it "the definitive biography of a great and tragic
physicist," and the Los Angeles Times praised it as "an important
book. Cassidy has sifted the record and brilliantly detailed
Heisenberg's actions." No book that has appeared since has rivaled
Uncertainty, now out of print, for its depth and rich detail of the
life, times and science of this brilliant and controversial figure of
20th century physics.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, long-suppressed information has
emerged on Heisenberg's role in the Nazi atomic bomb project. In
Beyond Uncertainty, Cassidy interprets this and other previously
unknown material within the context of his vast research and tackles
the vexing questions of a scientist's personal responsibility and
guilt when serving an abhorrent military regime....
