If you think you know the full story of Trinity Site, birthplace of the atomic bomb, you don't. Robert Oppenheimer didn't built the bomb, it was hand made by engineers, chemists and young physicists in their twenties and many not yet having earned a degree. The first atomic bomb was originally planned as a backup device, a weapon not then currently achievable. The Trinity Site was bombed several times by US aircraft while one Manhattan Project facility was struck by a Japanese weapon. Many commonly held ""facts"" are actually at best unsubstantiated and here for the first time is a book that speaks of a pivot point in history from the point of view of the men who served in the American desert. Five years of research using original letters, memos and reports, many only recently declassified from those involved bring a fresh perspective on the events now approaching it's 75th anniversary.
