They Changed the World: People of the Manhattan Project - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Melnick supplies superb portraits of those involved as they are now and lets the subjects speak about what they did in the Manhattan Project, how they learned as they went and developed their own idiosyncratic methodologies and means of administration, how they understood what they were doing and why, and how they understood the results. Each of them has a different take on what the project did for history, but they share the steady gaze of someone who has had a glimpse of what lies behind the gates of hell, back when they were just kids.
