If Robert Oppenheimer is the father of the atomic bomb, then General Leslie Groves is the bomb's rigid, controlling stepfather. This volume provides an interesting, detail-laden account of the struggles that were faced in setting up the primary labs of the Manhattan Engineer District: Hanford, Oak Ridge, and Los Alamos. This book is only recommended after you have read everything else on the Manhattan Project.
