The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Help Win WWII
http://www.amazon.com/Girls-Atomic-City-Untold-Helped-ebook/dp/B008J4GTU4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389818602&sr=8-1&keywords=the+women+of+atomic+city Did you know the city of Oak Ridge, TN was created as a community to process the materials for the Manhattan Project? Neither did I. The Author of this book interviewed women who moved there without knowing where "there" was on the chance that they could help with the war and make some good money. With a mix of what life was like and the science behind "The Project," this book tells an interesting side of things. Highly suggest this book. It covers History, science and human interest. |
Anything by Malcom Gladwell and this:

I hate non-fiction, but read it because it's "Good For Me (tm)." A friend recommended This Kind of War, and I have to say it's excellent. Detailed, accurate, personable, and well-written history of the Korean War, from the whole debacle about how we picked the 38th parallel to ... well, I haven't finished yet, but I'm assuming until the "end," wherever that is.

Hey David
I found it to be a very interesting & enjoyable read also - & as you seem to me to be like-minded, I would recommend (if you can find a copy - 1985 publ. date) of Spitfire - A Test Pilot's Story by Jeffrey Quill. Cheers JB |
