The making of the Atom Bomb

In a requisitioned boys school on top of a New Mexico mesa, Robert Oppenheimer and General Leslie Gtoves assembled the team of atomic experts and built and tested the three devices - one tested at the Trinity site and two dropped over Japan - in a remarkable 28 months! A self guided walk takes you around the key buildings that were the center of the secret life of Los Alamos from 1943 to 1945.
