Now it Can be Told
In this book I have written about some aspects of the war which, I believe, the world must know and remember, not only as a memorial of men's courage in tragic years, but as a warning of what will happen again--surely--if a heritage of evil and of folly is not cut out of the hearts of peoples. Here it is the reality of modern warfare not only as it appears to British soldiers, of whom I can tell, but to soldiers on all the fronts where conditions were the same.

Now It Can Be Told
A first-person account of the Manhattan Project by the general who hired, and worked alongside, Robert Oppenheimer. General Leslie Groves and J. Robert Oppenheimer were the two men chiefly responsible for the building of the first atomic bomb at Los Alamos, code name the Manhattan Project. As the ranking military officer in charge of marshaling men and material for what was to be the most ambitious, expensive engineering feat in history, it was General Groves who hired Oppenheimer (with knowledge of his left-wing past), planned facilities that would extract the necessary enriched uranium, and saw to it that nothing interfered with the accelerated research and swift assembly of the weapon. This is his story of the political, logistical, and personal problems of this enormous undertaking, which involved foreign governments, sensitive issues of press censorship, the construction of huge plants at Hanford and Oak Ridge, and a race to build the bomb before the Nazis got wind of it. The role of Groves in the Manhattan Project has always been controversial. In his new introduction, the noted physicist Edward Teller, who was there at Los Alamos, candidly assesses the general’s contributions—and Oppenheimer’s—while reflecting on the awesome legacy of their work. “The basic story is a thriller as strange as any chapter in American history, and its drama is heightened by the general’s candor and restraint.” —The New Yorker
