Atomic city girls by Janet Beard (Paperback)

About This Book

Behind the Manhattan Project's most guarded secret was a city full of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

Told through the eyes of young women who arrived knowing nothing of their true purpose, this is a vivid, compelling story of ambition, love, moral complexity, and the weight of history. A fascinating window into one of the most consequential moments of the 20th century.
