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.
