James D. Watson (r. 1928), američki biokemičar i dobitnik Nobelove nagrade 1962. jedan je od najistaknutijih znanstvenika 20. stoljeća. U ovoj knjizi opisuje se razdoblje njegova rada u Cavendish laboratoriju na Sveučilištu u Cambridgeu 1951-1953, kada je zajedno s Francisom Crickom - uz značajan doprinos drugih znanstvenika, prije svega Mauricea Wilkinsa - otkrio strukturu deoksiribonukleinske kiseline (DNA).
U knjizi se na zanimljiv i uzbudljiv način prikazuje kako su Watson i Crick došli do svojega otkrića koje je označilo početak nove epohe ljudskog roda. Sve što u znanosti slijedi iza toga nosi svoje korijene u tome otkriću: odgonetanje genetičke šifre, kloniranje gena, struktura ljudskog genoma, najdublje tajne virusa, molekularno razumijevanje evolucije, funkcioniranje imunog sustava i prirode mnogih bolesti, identifikacija žrtava genocida... Generacije i generacije znanstvenika, deseci tisuća najobrazovanijih ljudi današnjice, radili su i još uvijek rade na razjašnjenju detalja. Ono glavno shvatili su Watson i Crick.
