Manhattan Project The Story of the Century /[electronic resource] :by Bruce Cameron Reed. - 1st ed. 2020. - XIV, 553 p. 152 illus., 25 illus. in color.online resource.

Introduction: An Overview of the Manhattan Project -- Background: A Brief but Friendly Tour of Nuclear Physics -- Organization: Coordinating Government and Army Support -- Design: The Los Alamos Laboratory -- Production: Uranium and Plutonium -- Testing: Project Trinity -- Deployment: Hiroshima and Nagasaki -- Legacy: The Cold War, the Nuclear Landscape, and Possible Futures. .

The Manhattan Project, the United States Army’s program to develop and deploy nuclear weapons in World War II, was a pivotal event in human history. While thousands of articles and books have been published on various aspects of the Project, this is the first comprehensive single-volume history prepared by a specialist for curious readers without a scientific background. 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 gives qualitative but accurate descriptions of the underlying science and the engineering challenges. The technical points are illustrated by reader-friendly graphics. .
