The Girls of Atomic City; The Untold Story Of The Women Who helped Win World War II
This is a fascinating story of how a secret but massive military institution was built and the many women and civilians from around the country that were recruited and sworn to secrecy during the operation of the facility. This story takes an in depth look at some of the women who were involved from the very beginning and how it changed their lives. Recruits were not told what they were working on, only that the work they were doing had the possibility of bringing the war to speedy end.
This is a different side of the story of an interesting part of our countries history that I enjoyed reading about. Sometimes, I felt that it was a little drawn out, but overall I think Denise Kiernan did a great job telling this story.
