John Watson and his science
The Double Helix: A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA by James D. Watson
A definitive account of one of the great discoveries of the last century,straight from the horse’s mouth .The book does well to portray scientists as humans , susceptible to personal jealousies and biases. Watson takes no prisoners in describing the other players in this drama. His description of Rosalind Franklin is sure to raise eye-brows from familiar quarters. Riveting till the very end , the book reads like a crime thriller.
P.S: For best effect , read the book in one go.
