Picturing the Bomb: Photographs from the Secret World of the Manhattan Project

Published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Manhattan Project, this book offers a never-before-seen look at the U.S. Government's effort to build the world's first atomic device. Co-edited by Esther Samra and Enrico Fermi's granddaughter, Rachel, Picturing the Bomb is a collection of images taken from the personal archives of the scientists who worked on the bomb--Fermi, Oppenheimer, Feynman, Fuchs, and others--and their families.
