Carroll tells the stories of two remark-
able men whose lives intersected in the aftermath of the Second World War, spark- ing a rare communion of spirit. JacquesMonod was a founder of molecular genetics
who, with biologists André Lwoff and Fran-çois Jacob, received the 1965 Nobel Prize
in Physiology or Medicine. Novelist and philosopher Albert Camus was anotherNobel laureate, receiving the 1957 literature
prize for work "which with clear-sighted earnestness illuminates the problems of the human conscience in our times". Just over two years later, Camus died in a car crash.Both men were fearless in their fight against the German invaders; both were geniuses in their own spheres; and the two were united in their world views. Monod's scientific outlook informed Camus's work, and Camus's philosophy greatly influencedMonod, so much so that Carroll calls Monod
"Camus in a lab coat".Carroll's story takes off in Paris in 1940,
the year the city fell to the Germans. Monod was part-way through his thesis at the Sor- bonne, studying the growth of bacteria. That year he discovered 'adaptation', the lag that occurs when bacteria that are growing in a medium with two sugars exhaust the first and switch to the second. The observation led to his life's work exploring the regula- tion of gene expression in bacteria. Around the same time, Camus arrived in Paris fromAlgeria. Already an experienced reporter
and editor, he found a job at the newspaperParis-Soir, but he had grander ambitions:
to write about the absurd. In this philoso- phy, the Universe has no goal or meaning.Far from being a credo of despair, it urges
people to recognize the absurd and live life to the full.As Carroll shows, each man heeded
French general Charles de Gaulle's call
that "all free Frenchmen, wherever they be, should continue the fight as best they may". Monod distributed Résistance, a clandestine newspaper, and later joined a group that sabotaged German supply lines.He played a leading part in the rebellion of
Both French Resistance firebrands in the war-torn 1940s, molecular geneticist Jacques Monod (left) and writer Albert Camus later became friends.

August 1944, when the Resistance fought
German troops in the streets of Paris. Camus joined a Resistance cell and wrote editorials for its newspaper, Combat. Carroll brings out how each man managed to pur- sue his vocation under the most dangerous of circumstances. Monod moved to a now legendary attic laboratory at the PasteurInstitute with Lwoff. Meanwhile, Camus
continued to write, publishing L'Étranger (The Outsider) in 1942 and establishing his place among the French intelligentsia with his then friends Jean-Paul Sartre andSimone de Beauvoir.
It was a shared revulsion at Soviet biolo-
gist Trofim Lysenko's genetics theory that brought Monod and Camus together. InAugust 1948, the Paris Communist paper
Les Lettres Françaises extolled Lysenko's
work as "A Great Scientific Event". Three weeks later, Monod wrote a counterblast in Combat, declaringLysenko's work non-
scientific. By this time,Camus had come
to believe that any totalitarian regime, including those of communist states, was inherently corrupt - a view confirmed by conversations with the Hungarian-born writer Arthur Koes- tler, whose anti-total- itarian novel Darkness at Noon had infuri- ated communists.Camus was work-

than once; the British side, not recently explored, is now tackled by Graham Farmelo in Churchill's Bomb.The author, a physicist, ranges across Win-
ston Churchill's long career - from 1901, when Churchill wrote to H. G. Wells to con- gratulate him on Anticipations, a work of pre- dictive non-fiction, to his final turn as prime minister in the early 1950s, when he pushed for a British hydrogen bomb. Farmelo is espe- cially good on the Second World War years, revealing much about the Anglo-American relationship that has been guarded or unclear.British work on the bomb preceded that
by the United States. Britain was at war for more than two years before the United States came in, and was inevitably more urgently concerned with German uranium research.Moreover, Britain's generous policy of tak-
ing in refugee Jewish scientists who were fleeing the Nazis sup- plied a cadre of highly motivated physicists to investigate the explosive properties of uranium at a time when most British physicists were work- ing on radar. In fact, it was the refugee scien- tists who first alerted the British govern- ment to German ura- nium research, just as their US counterparts famously enlisted Albert Einstein to alertPresident Franklin Roosevelt.
On both sides of the Atlantic, however,
gatekeeper scientific advisers delayed pro- gress. In the US case, the culprit was a gov- ernment scientist named Lyman Briggs.Briggs, the director of the National Bureau of
Standards, so overemphasized secrecy that

Révolté (The Rebel), his long essay
on the nature of revolution. He was introduced to Monod and, as Car- roll puts it, they "hit it off right away".Monod helped Camus with a chapter
on how communism had perverted science in the Soviet Union, exemplified by Lysenko. (The cruel Soviet suppression of Hungary's 1956 uprising put the seal on their mutual rejection of communism.)Camus's influence on Monod is clear
in Le Hasard et La Necessité (Chance andNecessity; Seuil, 1970), the international
best-seller in which Monod drew on the new science of molecular biology. Biology, for instance, had demonstrated that Homo sapiens arose through a series of chance events and that there is no grand design to the Universe. In a reference to Camus's world view, Monod wrote that man "lives on the boundary of an alien world; a world that is deaf to his music, and as indifferent to his hopes as it is to his suffering or his crimes". In the late 1950s, Monod carried out experiments with François Jacob and biochemist Arthur Pardee that hinted at the existence of an unstable intermediate between DNA and ribosomes. Further work by Monod and Jacob led to the operon model of how gene expression is regulated, described in a classic paper in1961. The same year Jacob, with biologists
Sydney Brenner and Matt Meselson, pro-
vided the experimental confirmation by demonstrating the existence of messengerRNA. The Nobel prize for Monod, Jacob
and Lwoff followed.The journalist Jean Daniel observed
of the comradeship between Monod andCamus that there was "a complicity so
intense ... that only a shared kindness of heart allowed them not to find unwelcome those who interfered in their privacy".I am not sure that Carroll has conveyed
that intensity - perhaps no one can. But although Brave Genius is a long and com- plex book, Carroll does a masterful job of keeping the many elements together and the story moving. I learned much aboutFrance at the time of the Second World
War, and was prompted to reread Camus's
great novel La Peste (The Plague).In 1959, C. P. Snow wrote of the "two
cultures" - that gulf between science and the humanities. Brave Genius provides an opportunity for those on both sides of the divide to sample a potent mix of genet- ics, philosophy and literature, forged in the twentieth-century tumult of war and cold war. ■Jan Witkowski is executive director of
