From the publication:
Preface A THOUGH hastily written and therefore justifiably to be considered a" quickie", this book is based on facts drawn from thoroughly reliable sources. The portion dealing with the details of the atomic bomb project follows closely the report prepared for the War Department by Professor H. D. Smyth of Princeton, and some of the preliminary background material is digested from certain fundamental articles in Science and Time. Bazzoni's "Energy and Matter" and Darrow's "Renaissance of Physics" have also been helpful sources of general information. Many details relating to the bomb project, which are contained in Professor Smyth's report, have been either subordinated or omitted, in an effort to give the reader the essential facts in a logically coordinated manner. If information that is interesting and pertinent is not given, it is because reasons of security required that it be withheld from the report released to the public.
