About this ebook
Though they were strangers, they joined together – babies were born, friendships were forged, children grew up. But then 'the project' was unleashed and even bigger challenges faced the women of Los Alamos, as they struggled with the burden of their contribution towards the creation of the most destructive force in mankind's history – the atomic bomb.
Contentious, gripping and intimate, The Wives of Los Alamos is a personal tale of one of the most momentous events in our history.
