If you are interested in Oppenheimer you should definitely read Brotherhood of the Bomb from Gregg Herken - there is also a web page dedicated to the book that has some new information about Oppenheimer that came out after the book publication (O. membership in communist party that he so vehemently denied). O apparently had a very strong, protective relationship with his younger brother (he tried to cover for him and he could not keep his stories straight) and had a very pragmatic ideology instilled into him during the high school - he was quite manipulative and crafty. There is lots of declassified info from archives, both US and Soviet. In short, he used to be a communist and lied about it, he was definitely not a spy and what got him in trouble in the end was is his covert opposition to the hydrogen bomb project, so he was removed from a position of influence and discredited by the proponents of H-bomb effort.
