ALL IN OUR TIME an introduction JANE WILSON The first atomic bomb exploded in the New Mexico desert on July 16, 1945. It was an apocalyptic event, reshaping attitudes toward war and peace and the conduct of nations. It changed government's stance in relation to nuclear physics. It affected the lives, private and professional, of the scientists who made the bomb. No technological event in all of history could rival it for sheer stark drama. Here, in a series of accounts first published by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, are the reminiscences of twelve men who took part in one way or another in the scientific research which culminated with the testing of the first bomb at Alamogordo. Much has been written about the Manhattan Project, but little has been written by the scientists themselves. These recollections help to fill that gap with an extra dimension of immediacy. They have not been sifted through other minds or distorted by other hands. They are like snapshots from a personal memory album, a small slice of history.
