The birth of the Atomic bomb, known as the Manhattan Project, is chronicled in a first-person historical record. This compilation recounts the events leading up to this momentous achievement from the perspectives of the researchers, scientists, and developers who played intimate roles in its creation. The Manhattan Project, conducted during World War II, stands as one of the most important and secretive scientific endeavors of the 20th century. It was headed by physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, a figure whose leadership forever altered the nature of warfare and cast a dark shadow over human civilization.

What began as a small research program in 1939 eventually grew into a massive undertaking, employing close to 600,000 individuals and costing approximately $2 billion (equivalent to $28.5 billion in 2020). Throughout its existence, the Manhattan Project operated under a veil of complete secrecy, shrouded from public knowledge. This collection represents a groundbreaking assemblage of primary source materials, including essays, articles, documents, and excerpts from various literary works, such as histories, biographies, plays, novels, letters, and oral histories. It captures the essence of the atomic bomb's development like no other resource available.

Notable contributors to this comprehensive collection include Edward Teller, Enrico Fermi, Richard Feynman, Richard Rhodes, Neils Bohr, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Albert Einstein, among numerous others. Their insights, experiences, and perspectives enrich the understanding of this pivotal moment in history.

Moreover, this latest edition of The Manhattan Project incorporates writings and reflections from the past fifteen years, providing contemporary perspectives on the subject matter. Among these additions are contributions from President Barack Obama, hibakusha (survivors of the atomic bombings), as well as the present-day mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These additional voices ensure that this collection remains a continually evolving and relevant resource for understanding the far-reaching implications of the Manhattan Project and the devastating power of the atomic bomb it birthed.
