Book Description:

Propelled to fame by his "Two Cultures" lecture, scientist-turned-novelist C. P. Snow (1905-1980) here tells a story of hatred and ambition at the top of British science, exposing how vital decisions were ultimately determined by politics. Today scientists and politicians are more contentious, but Snow's dramatic narrative remains the best guide.
