As the Manhattan Project unfolded, Pvt. J.J. Michnovicz--first assigned to Los Alamos as a photographer by the military but later working as a civilian--recorded the everyday spirit of the people and the events that shaped this mountain town into a home . . . and secret scientific hotbed. This comprehensive view of the social and professional world of Los Alamos is the photographic journal of a singular period, as seen through the eyes of one soldier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMichnovicz Gibson, Toni:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Authors Toni Michnovicz Gibson and Jon Michnovicz have sifted through their father s remarkable snapshots of the sleepy town that just happened to be the epicenter of the Manhattan Project.
