Manhattan Project : The Story of the Century Hardback
by Bruce Cameron Reed
Hardback
Description
Though thousands of articles and books have been published on various aspects of the Manhattan Project, this book is the first comprehensive single-volume history prepared by a specialist for curious readers without a scientific background.
This project, the United States Army’s program to develop and deploy atomic weapons in World War II, was a pivotal event in human history.
The author presents a wide-ranging survey that not only tells the story of how the project was organized and carried out, but also introduces the leading personalities involved and features simplified but accurate descriptions of the underlying science and the engineering challenges.
The technical points are illustrated by reader-friendly graphics. .
