This updated edition of this essential collection of historic
writings by the pre-eminent scientists and historians who bore
witness to the birth of the modern nuclear age now includes
President Barack Obama's 2016 statement at Hiroshima, all-new
writings from Japanese survivors of the atomic bomb, and a new
foreword by Cynthia C. Kelly.Born out of a small research program
that began in 1939, the Manhattan Project would eventually employ
more than 130,000 people and cost a total of nearly $2 billion--all
operating entirely under a shroud of secrecy. This groundbreaking
collection of essays, articles, documents, and excerpts from
history, biographies, plays, novels, letters, and oral histories,
newly updated on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the
bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, is the first ever to source
such primary history about the creation of the atomic bomb.
Included is President Barak Obama's 2016 statement at Hiroshima, as
well as new perspectives from hibakusha (atomic bomb survivors) and
the mayors of Hisorshima and Nagasaki. Also included are writings
by and about J. Robert Oppenheimer, Leo Szilard, Albert Einstein,
Richard Feynman, Leslie Groves, Klaus Fuchs, Henry Stimson, Harry S
Truman, Vannevar Bush, Niels Bohr, and many other key figures and
authors including Joseph Kanon, Jennet Conant, Kai Bird, and Martin
Sherwin. The Manhattan Project is the most comprehensive
exploration of the making of the atomic bomb available today.
