 *Includes over 20 pictures of the important people, places, and events associated with the Manhattan Project. In the 19th century, the Scottish writer Thomas Carlyle famously wrote, "The history of the world is but the biography of great men", popularizing the “Great Man” theory that the course of history is shaped by a select few heroic individuals.

Charles River Editors’ Decisive Moments in History examines the events that changed history forever and set the world down the path it finds itself on today. During World War II, the free world literally hung in the balance, with the Axis and Allies engaging in warfare on an unprecedentedly violent scale.

Eventually that race extended to bombs which carried enough power to destroy civilization itself. While the war raged in Europe and the Pacific, a dream team of Nobel Laureates was working on a project so secretive that vice president Harry Truman didn’t know of it when he took the presidency after FDR’s death.

Decisive Moments in History: The Manhattan Project covers the beginning of atomic research prior to the Manhattan Project, the exodus of talented scientists fleeing Nazi Germany throughout Europe, and the history and results of the grand project that ushered in the Atomic Age. Along with pictures of the important p©2013 Charles River Editors (P)2017 Charles River Editors Américas Militar Política e Governo
