Short but fascinating account of civilian life at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project. Collectively written by a number of women at the time (each does a chapter on her own experiences) this book was never published in the 1940s as it was meant to be - the publisher pulled out - and the manuscript subsequently languished in the historical archives until it was finally pulled out some decades later. All I can say is what a pity that earlier publisher was so short-sighted! This is an excellent little book, prioritising different stories than are usually told about the MP, and thereby giving a sense of community and social context to one of the great science achievements of the 20th century. If only it had been longer.
