Opplysninger | "With technical mastery and remarkable empathy, Canaday introduces readers to the people involved in the creation and testing of the first atomic bomb, from initial theoretical conversations to the secretive work at Los Alamos. Critical Assembly also includes brief biographies, notes, and a bibliography for further exploration about this critical event in world history."--. - "In this thought-provoking volume, poet John Canaday considers the history and legacy of the Manhattan Project. Each poem is written from the point of view of a historical figure associated with the development of the US atomic bomb. Canaday’s poems explore what the project might have looked like not only to well-known figures such as J. Robert Oppenheimer and Leslie Groves, but to people like laboratory assistant Antonio Martinez, site manager Dorothy McKibbin, and local resident Edith Warner, who ran a tearoom near Los Alamos. The collection is stylistically diverse and accompanied by a helpful set of appendices, including a guide to the people and terms each poem references and a bibliography of further reading on the Manhattan Project."
