| Summary |
"It was not Robert Oppenheimer who built the bomb--it was engineers, chemists and young physicists. Drawing on original documents, many recently declassified, the author sheds new light on a pivotal moment in history--now approaching its 75th anniversary--told from the point of view of the men who inaugurated the Atomic Age in the New Mexico desert"-- Provided by publisher |
