The rare first edition of one of the first scientific reports on the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, produced in the immediate aftermath by representatives of the Manhattan Project. The complete set, comprising both the text and photographic volumes. Preceded only by the US Strategic Bombing Survey's report published ten days earlier on June 19th. The Special Manhattan Engineer District Investigating Group - three teams of scientists, medical doctors, and radiation experts led by Leslie Groves's deputy, General Thomas Farrell - arrived in Tokyo on September 1st, 1945. Joined by members of the International Red Cross, Army Medical Corps, and General Douglas McArthur's staff, they made radiation measurements, surveyed infrastructure damage, categorised injuries, and took numerous photographs. 'Significantly, the report concluded that the cities did not possess harmful levels of persistent radioactivity after the explosions' and they 'also noted the observed psychological effects on survivors and demonstrated this feeling of terror by including an eye-witness account in the appendix' ('Surveys of Hiroshima and Nagasaki', The Atomic Heritage Foundation, June 2, 2017). First edition. First volume a 24-leaf booklet, wire-stitched (26.5 x 20 cm); 2 folding maps, second map with a short tear at the lower gutter; original cream wrappers printed in black, thin streak and some scuffs to the upper cover, two small, closed chips to the upper cover, wrappers toned, a very good copy.

One page, 8vo, two tiny closed tears, sl. dulled, mainly good condition. "I am trying to arrange a subscription for the Times and find that my newsagent cannot supply this unless an extra copy is allocated to him. I find it is essential for me to have the Times to keep sufficiently informed on what is going on. You have already been very helpful in arranging for a copy to be sent out to the British group, of which I was then in charge, at Santa Fe, New Mexico, and I would be very grateful for anything tou can do to accelerate the supply of a copy to me." He concludes with information about his newsagent. See Image.…

A certificate issued to Edward R. Driese "for participating in work essential to the production of the Atomic Bomb, thereby contributing to the successful conclusion of World War II". It is dated 6 August 1945, the day the atomic bomb was detonated over Hiroshima, and has the printed signature of the Secretary of War, Henry L. Stimson. Driese was a builder who worked in California; his state contractor's licence is loosely inserted in the manual, of which this is the restricted edition. A public edition was published the following year. It contains information on atomic technology, including the theory of the atom, the construction of the bomb, and the principles of atomic defence. The printed watermark on the certificate depicts a Manhattan Project Service Pin, which was issued in either bronze (as the depiction here) or silver, the latter designating service of over a year. Single sheet of thick paper stock (279 x 214 mm), watermarked with War Office crest. Manual within original morocco leatherette covers, three metal screws. Certificate lightly toned, a handful of marks to outer left edge, else both in very good condition.…
