The Manhattan Project: a Selected, Annotated Bibliography of Books in the Collection of St. Louis Public Library
PART II
Fermi, Rachel and Esther Samra. Picturing the Bomb: Photographs from the Secret World of the Manhattan Project. New York: Harry N. Abrams, 1995. 232 p. Photographs; chronology; glossary; annotated bibliography; index. Central-HU, BU 355.825119
Beautifully reproduced photographs of persons and places associated with the Manhattan Project, many in black-and-white but some in color (color photographs from World War II to my mind make the war seem more like a real, historical event-- black-and-white photos somehow seem more like still photos from a motion picture).
Goodchild, Peter. J. Robert Oppenheimer: Shatterer of Worlds. Boston: Houghton-Mifflin, 1981. 301 p. Photographs; diagrams; bibliography; index. Central-ST B OPPENHEIMER
J. Robert Oppenheimer was chief scientist and top civilian administrator of the Manhattan Project. The focus of this book is his work on the Manhattan Project, and his post-war troubles with allegations of disloyalty and involvement with Communists. Includes many photographs of Oppenheimer family members and associates, plus wonderfully clear diagrams of the structure of various scientific apparatus and the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs.
Greene, Bob. Duty: a Father, His Son, and the Man Who Won the War. New York: William Morrow, 2000. 295 p. Central-PO, BU, CO, CP, DA, KI, SC 973.917
Newspaperman Greene was told by his dying father, a World War II infantryman, that Paul Tibbets, pilot of the Enola Gay, the airplane that dropped the Hiroshima bomb, was living in Greene's hometown, Columbus, Ohio. Greene recorded conversations he had with his father and with Tibbets, whom Greene met on the morning after the last meal he ever ate with his father.
Groueff, Stephane. Manhattan Project: the Untold Story of the Making of the Atomic Bomb. Boston: Little, Brown, 1967. 371 p. Photographs; bibliography; index; endpaper (a map showing sites associated with the Manhattan Project). Central-ST 623.4
Straightforward but engrossing history of the Manhattan Project from its beginnings at the turn of the century in the obscure theories of European scientists to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
Hales, Peter Bacon. Atomic Spaces: Living on the Manhattan Project. Urbana: University of Illinois, 1997. 447 p. Photographs; notes; index. Central-BT 355.25119
The story of what Hales calls "atomic spaces": the three large and nearly 100 small sites created by the Manhattan Engineer District (more commonly known as the Manhattan Project). The focus is on the three large sites: Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Hanford, Washington; and Los Alamos, New Mexico. Hales' main interest is in how these sites functioned as places to live and to work, and how the military maintained control over a mixed population of soldiers, scientists, and civilian workers.
Harry S. Truman and the Bomb: a Documentary History. Edited with commentary by Robert H. Ferrell. Worland, WY: High Plains Publishing Company, 1996. 125 p. Photographs; images of documents; bibliography; index. Central-ST, BU, KI 973.918
Transcriptions of memos, press releases, official reports, and entries in President Truman's diary that relate to his decision to use the atomic bomb against Japan.
Hersey, John. Hiroshima. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1985. New ed. with final chapter written forty years after the explosion. 196 p. Central-ST, CO, KI, SC, WA 940.5425
Hersey's book was first printed as the entire August 31, 1946 issue of the New Yorker magazine. It followed the lives of six persons living in Hiroshima through one day: August 6, 1945, the day the atomic bomb was dropped on that Japanese city. This new edition includes a final chapter that explores what the six were up to forty years after the Bomb changed everything: themselves, the city they lived in, warfare, world politics-- even physics textbooks.
Howes, Ruth and Carolyn L. Herzenberg. Their Day in the Sun: Women of the Manhattan Project. Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1999. Photographs; list of female employees of the Manhattan Project; chronology; bibliography; index. Central-BT 355.825119
The authors (both working physicists) tracked down more than 300 women employed as scientists, technicians, nurses, and clerical workers (plus a number of WACs) by the Manhattan Engineering District. They interviewed still-living women and put together this history of women's vital contributions to the Manhattan Project and the war effort.

DOWNTOWN PARKING NEWS
Here's a bit of news not likely to brighten your holiday season. Several remaining bright spots: parking is still free here on Saturdays and on Monday evenings from 7 p.m-9 p.m., and there are still several weekday free spaces on our lot at 15th & Olive. Also, you may choose to park on one of the all-day lots and avoid entirely the need to run and feed the meter.
From the official announcement:
Effective Monday, November 30, most parking meters in the Downtown area will cost $1 for one hour of parking. This will include the meters around Central Library and Central Express. Please notify persons of this change who may be planning to visit one of these locations.
This action was taken to encourage people who are downtown for longer periods of time to use a parking garage or parking lot rather than “feed the meter.” Downtown workers and others were often using meters for several hours or all day. Parking meters were then unavailable for someone wanting to make a short stop at a business or go to a restaurant for lunch.
Meters are FREE (for up to 2 hours) on holidays, weekends, and in the evening after 7 p.m. There is limited free parking for visitors on the Library’s parking lot at 15th & Olive. The available parking spaces are numbers 32 through 42. Library visitors can park in one of these spots, pick up a parking slip/form in Central Library, and turn in the slip at 1415 Olive for a token to exit the gated lot.

THE MANHATTAN PROJECT-- PART I
The Manhattan Project: a Selected, Annotated Bibliography of Books in the Collection of St. Louis Public Library
PART I
Albright, Joseph and Marcia Kunstel. Bombshell: the Secret Story of America's Unknown Atomic Spy Conspiracy. New York: Times Books, 1997. 399 p. Photographs; bibliography; index. Central-HU 327.1247073
Story of the Soviet atomic bomb spy ring that focuses on Ted Hall, a physics prodigy who joined the Manhattan Project when he was only 18 years old. Although he worked as a spy for the Soviets for years, he managed to avoid detection until part of the Soviet archives became public in the 1990s, by which time he was retired and living in England.
Astor, Gerald. Operation Iceberg: the Invasion and Conquest of Okinawa in World War II. New York: Donald I. Fine, 1995. 480 p. Photographs; maps; bibliography; cast of characters; index. Central-HG 940.5425
Persons wishing to justify the avoidance of an invasion of the Japanese homeland by any means necessary need look no further than the invasion of Okinawa in May 1945. Okinawa, an island approximately halfway between the Philippine Islands and Tokyo, was a perfect jumping-off point for either an invasion of Japan or for saturation bombing of the Japanese mainland. Capturing the island from its 100,000 Japanese defenders resulted in 7,700 American soldiers KIA and 31,800 WIA, with further damage to the American fleet of 5,000 sailors and 34 ships lost, and 5,000 seamen wounded. Invasion planners used the examples of Iwo Jima and Okinawa to help them project estimates of the number of American casualties an invasion of Japan might produce (estimates ranged from a low of 250,000 to a high of 1,000,000). Such a potentially high cost in American lives was a major factor in President Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and thus avoid an invasion of the Japanese homeland.
Bernstein, Jeremy. Oppenheimer: Portrait of an Enigma. Chicago: Ivan R. Dee, 2004. 223 p. Photographs; illustrations; index. Central-HU, BU B
Biography by a man who knew Oppenheimer when he was teaching at the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton in the late 1950s. The author has uncovered some remarkable stories about his subject, including the fact that other campers at a summer camp Oppenheimer attended while a teen painted his bottom and genitals green and locked him naked in an icehouse overnight. A life that included both that experience and the Trinity explosion on July 16, 1945, must have been an interesting one, indeed, and Bernstein does a great job of illuminating in a relatively small number of pages the life of a most complex individual.
Bird, Kai, and Martin J. Sherwin. American Prometheus: the Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer. NY: Alfred Knopf, 2005. 721 p. Photographs; bibliography; index. Central-HU, BU, CP, KI
The Pulitzer Prize-winning full-length biography of Oppenheimer is the first to tackle all aspects of his life: scientific, political, and personal. The authors read through thousands of pages of archival records, including massive FBI files, and interviewed one hundred Oppenheimer relatives, friends, and associates. The results of their hard work are visible on every page.
Conant, Jennet. 109 East Palace: Robert Oppenheimer and the Secret City of Los Alamos. NY: Simon & Schuster, 2005. 424 p. Photographs; maps; bibliography; index. Central-HG, BU 623, 45119
A study of the Manhattan Project's Los Alamos facility that takes as its main characters J. Robert Oppenheimer, Los Alamos project director, and Dorothy McKibbin, receptionist and "gatekeeper" at Los Alamos. The author is the granddaughter of James B. Conant, a scientist and Manhattan Project top administrator. The book includes a look at the 1950s hearings during which Oppenheimer was stripped of his security clearance due to past association with known Communists, and describes the sad fates of Oppenheimer, his wife, and his daughter.
De Groot, Gerard J. The Bomb: a Life. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2005. 397 p. Photographs; bibliography; index. Central-HG, HU 623.4511909
An entertaining (yet highly critical) look at the development of nuclear weapons, including lengthy sections on the Manhattan project and the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs. The author's lengthy research includes lots of interesting details about the period, including the fact that when Paul Tibbets, pilot of the plane that dropped the Hiroshima bomb, tried to show a film of the Trinity bomb test to his flight crew, the projector jammed. Tibbets then had to attempt to describe to the crew the contents of the film. A crewman who witnessed Tibbets' talk said, "It was like some weird dream," although, at that time, he could not have known how right he was. We also learn that, at the time of the atomic bombing, the population of Hiroshima included approximately 5,000 American citizens- the children of U.S. citizens of Japanese descent who had been detained for security reasons by the American government.
