Tales of Los Alamos: Life on the Mesa 1943-1945

Tales of Los Alamos: Life on the Mesa 1943-1945

To a few hundred scientists and their families, the atomic age began long before the first atomic bomb brought an end to World War II. For them, it began when they disappeared into the mountains of northern New Mexico, where the bomb would be developed against overwhelming odds. There, in the isolated, ramshackle community of Los Alamos, this specially selected group would spend two years of exhausting work, unaccustomed hardships, and high adventure. In this book, Bernice Brode, wife of a Manhattan Project physicist, gives a lighthearted, firsthand account of everyday life in the strange and secret community, between 1943 and 1945.
