Richard Hull said: I often wonder at how many other interesting and complex interactions plagued or boiled away just below the surface in other major scientific efforts. The Manhattan project is a prime example.
I think that Richard Rhodes, "The Making of the Atomic Bomb", and to a lesser degree "Dark Sun", provides a lot of insight into what all those folks were doing. Dark Sun, in particular, delves quite deeply into the politics, etc., in the weapons labs during the development.
