The atomic bombs that came out of it brought an end to the war in the Pacific, but at a heavy loss of life in Japan and the opening of a Pandora s box that has tested international relations. This book traces the history of the Manhattan Project, from the first glimmerings of the possibility of such a catastrophic weapon to the aftermath of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It profiles the architects of the bomb and how they tried to reconcile their personal feelings with their ambition as scientists. It looks at the role of the politicians and it includes first-hand accounts of those who experienced the effects of the bombings.2015 is the 70th anniversary of the dropping of the bombs. A fascinating account, written for laymen, which looks at every aspect of this pivotal event in world history. Includes photographs. Review: Detailed, clear, thorough - This book provides a detailed, clear, and thorough look into the people, technology, politics, and actions of the dawning of the atomic age. I liked that I came away understanding the full picture of what happened and why, even interviews from survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It neither glorifies nor demonizes the secret effort, but gives a complete view. Review: Well worth reading. - The Manhattan Project is not a scholarly book; there no indications of works the author drew on in writing, no index, no notes. I have given it four stars because of this. A book on an important topic like this should allow its readers to check its sources. I am not a scientist, but as far as I can tell from other reading, this is a responsible account of its subject. The book is very accessible, informative, and interesting. The scope of the Manhattan Project and the pressures under which it operated are amazing. The photographs in the book are a nice addition. I recommend it to anyone looking for a basic understanding of the Manhattan Project. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,703 in World War II History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 640 Reviews | ## Images ![The Manhattan Project - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91VCxyIg4hL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Detailed, clear, thorough *by S***. on April 16, 2022* This book provides a detailed, clear, and thorough look into the people, technology, politics, and actions of the dawning of the atomic age.

The author does an excellent job describing the many technical roadblocks solved before the shocking finale of the Trinity test was realized.
