"Working with Watson and Crick on the structure of DNA was a third man, Maurice Wilkins, based at King's College London with co-worker Rosalind Franklin. Franklin died in 1958 and the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the Double-Helix was awarded to the three men in 1962." "Maurice Wilkins, who died in 2004, reflects in his autobiography on the events surrounding the discovery, and also on the wider role of scientists in a world still coping with the Bomb and facing the implications of the gene revolution."--Jacket.
