In den WarenkorbWraps. Zustand: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. viii, 111, [1] pages. Illustrations. Appendix. Sticker of Los Alamos Historical Society Museum Shop inside front cover. Minor erasure residue on title page. Edith Truslow (1911-2002) was a lieutenant in the Women's Army Corps (WACs) when she was offered a job at…Los Alamos as a historian in 1946. During her time at Los Alamos she co-wrote the history of Los Alamos with David Hawkins and Ralph C. Smith. She was credited as one of the co-authors of Project Y: The Los Alamos Story, in 1984 when the history was declassified and published. After she finished her work at Los Alamos, she became a civilian professional photographer. This volume of the Manhattan Engineer District History gives a concise account of the nonscientific part of the Y Project at Los Alamos from its inception through 1946 when the Atomic Energy Commission assumed control. The purpose of this record is to present the facts of Construction, organization, and personnel and of various problems faced and met by those responsible for assisting in the final accomplishment of the task set for Los Alamos. One of the chief difficulties in security data for this volume arose from security restrictions during the early operations of the Project. Many of the transactions wee carried on orally to ensure secrecy, and so no written record was preserved. In other instances, data were destroyed to further protect the secret of the bomb. This complete secrecy was one of the most amazing aspects of the entire program, but it produced one of the greatest obstacles to piecing the story together for historical purposes. Many involved were interviewed to fill in these gaps.
