Abstract
This is a detailed study describing the progression of the Manhattan Project and the invention of the atomic bomb. The "Manhattan Project" was a code name given to the efforts and collaboration of many scientists to build the first atom bomb. The author sees two major challenges that faced the team of highly capable scientists. The first was the actual production of the atom bomb. This involved actually making innovative discoveries that would revolutionize war and change man's idea of war for good. The second involved all of the ethical debates on whether or not the bomb should have actually been used in warfare. The author concludes that the building of the atomic bomb proved to be the most pivotal advance seen by science up until the early twentieth century.

From the Paper
"We have too many men of science, too few men of God. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon of the Mount...The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living..." stated General Omar N. Bradley, Chief of Staff of the United States Army in 1948, voicing the opinion, shared by many of the time, towards the building of the atomic bomb. The "Manhattan Project" was a code name given to the efforts and collaboration of many scientists to build the first atom bomb. There were two major challenges that faced the team of highly capable scientists. The first was the actual production of the atom bomb. This involved actually making innovative discoveries that would revolutionize war and change man's idea of war for good. The second involved all of the ethical debates on whether or not the bomb should have actually been used in warfare. The project lasted from 1942-1946 and cost approximately 1.8 billion dollars, which is comparable to 20 billion dollars today. The building of the atomic bomb proved to be the most pivotal advance seen by science up until the early twentieth century."

Abstract
This paper examines the Manhattan Project, describing its historical development and the political and diplomatic relations which it entailed. The fear of the Nazi's developing an atom bomb is considered one of the motivating reasons for the US speeding up its nuclear fission program. The paper further mentions how the US shared or did not share its research with its allies. The paper then describes some technical aspects of the research. The actual deployment of the bomb is discussed and how it contributed to the Cold War between the US and USSR. The paper concludes with the negative consequences of the Manhattan Project, including the tremendous loss of life caused by detonating two atomic bombs.

From the Paper
"American research in the field of nuclear physics had been progressing in a rather unsystematic manner. The British were interested in finding out about the American work. To this aim, they did not hesitate in what including atomic information in the exchanges of technical information and scientific missions that were going on in the beginning of the 1940s. This interchange of scientific information was very important; proof of its importance is that face that one of the documents forwarded to the United States was the Thomson Committee Report. This document stated the feasibility of an atomic bomb and led to the British decision to become involved in such a project; also, it represented an important factor that influenced the U.S. follow the same path and become involved. This was followed by an offer issued in October, 1941 by President Roosevelt to Winston Churchill for cooperation in relation to the project. After the agreement, the next step in the evolution of the project was a division of labor."

From the Paper
"The radiation from the bomb continued to kill thousands of people after the explosion. It poisoned the drinking water and thus a great source of food in the local rivers and lakes. People who had survived the initial explosion eventually died within a month due to the radiation poisoning. This alone accounted for a large percentage of civilian deaths suffered in World War Two. Not only after the first month of deaths, but for years after the bomb's drop people were still dying from radiation; between the years of 1946-1952 the government reported that 60,000 people died of radiation poisoning. Although the bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were different in construction; little boy was a gun designed weapon shaped like a cup while 'fat man' dropped on Nagasaki, was an implosion and not an explosion."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the Manhattan Project was one of the most documented events in American and World History. This discussion provides an explanation of the Manhattan Project and looks at how the project changed society forever. The writer discusses that the historiographic look at the Manhattan project reflects differences in tone related to the type of material that is presented and the time frame in which it was presented. The writer looks at perspectives on this subject from the 1960s, the 1980s, the 1990s and the 21st century. The writer concludes that overall the historical perspectives discussed seem to be related to the decades in which they were written and the information that the authors had available to them.

From the Paper
"According to a book entitled The Manhattan Project and published by the Department of Energy, Albert Einstein was actually quite instrumental in the development of the Manhattan Project. According to the book Einstein wrote a now famous letter explaining to President Roosevelt advances in science related to chain reactions through the use of Uranium. Einstein asserted that this new scientific discovery could lead to the development of bombs that would be extremely powerful and destructive. In the letter, Einstein also revealed to the president that Germany was already attempting to build bombs involving this new scientific discovery. Roosevelt was concerned and in 1939 he approved uranium research believing that America could not take the risk of permitting Hitler to develop such a weapon without America also attempting to develop such a weapon. Roosevelt's approval of uranium research marked the beginning of the Manhattan Project."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the history and controversies surrounding the Manhattan Project and examines whether or not we should have dropped the bomb. The paper first looks at how the project came about following the rumours that Nazi Germany was working on a bomb and then looks at the challenges faced by the project managers to complete it before the Germans did. Finally, the writer explores whether or not America was justified in using the bomb.

From the Paper
"In 1939, the United States got word through various channels of intelligence that the Nazis in Germany were planning to develop an atomic bomb. This was startling and upsetting news for the United States, as the prospect of the Nazis with the most powerful weapon in the world was not a comforting one. As a result, the United States began its own project to develop and build an atomic bomb before the Nazis or the Japanese did. The United States began this project in 1942 under the Army Corps of Engineers. It was the atomic bomb that was developed during this effort, an effort known as the Manhattan Project, that was eventually dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki."

Abstract
The paper talks about the Manhattan Project that began in 1939, with the goal of planning and designing the world's first nuclear weapon. The paper looks at Trinity Site, located in a remote part of New Mexico, which was selected for testing the bomb. The paper describes the Trinity test and explains that this test in fact put an abrupt end to World War Two, as the successful implosion sparked an enthusiastic attack on two Japanese targets: Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The paper contends, however, that with hardly any evidence and only one plutonium test at Trinity, the United States government foolishly launched nuclear weapons at Japan.

From the Paper
"Whether due to a morbid self-satisfaction, naivete, or sheer stupidity, the members of the Manhattan Project reveled with "elation" and "jubilation" at the sight of the mushroom cloud (Department of Energy). The Trinity Site, located in a remote part of New Mexico, was believed to be far enough from the civilian population to guard against fallout, but local ranchers lived only 20 miles away. Official reports indicate that civilians suffered "little external injury," but that their "livestock were not as fortunate, suffering skin burns, bleeding, and loss of hair," (DOE). Stafford Warren, the project's chief medical officer, would later recommend that future tests be conducted within no less than 150 miles from human population and claimed that the Trinity nuclear tests had been near-misses (DOE)."

Abstract
The paper describes the United States' rush to build an atomic bomb during World War II. The paper details the bomb's inception and shows how it was used on Hiroshima and then on Nagasaki, forcing Japan to surrender. The paper explains that the long-term push for the bomb set the United States on a course of creating and stockpiling nuclear weapons that shaped the nature of the Cold War. The paper discusses how although the atomic bomb ended World War II, the controversy surrounding its use continues because of the enormous consequences of using nuclear warfare.

From the Paper
"The Los Alamos site was chosen for two main reasons: First, a special weapons laboratory was needed to put the bomb together. Second, the massive security regulations were becoming a problem, with the compartmentalization of tasks so that the people involved with the various aspects of the Manhattan Project would know only enough to carry out their own jobs effectively. This approach worked well and was one reason why no information ever reached German hands. However, at the scientific level, such compartmentalization was a problem."

Abstract
This is a research paper examining the decision to exclude the Soviets from the Manhattan Project. An historical overview of the time period is provided, and the writer then looks at what led up to this decision. The paper also discusses the implications of such a decision on future international relations and U.S. foreign policy.

From the Paper
'In the midst of atomic confusion during the development and years to follow of the atomic bombs "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" (starting as early as 1939), the United States government became entangled in mass debate over which (if any) foreign nations to include in the secrets of the Manhattan Project. After much consideration, the United States enlightened Britain with the diplomatic secrets, though clarifying the US dominance in the matter. However, the United States still deliberated over secret sharing with the Soviet Union and other nations, such as France. With the conclusion of the US to not share information of the atomic weapon with the Soviet Union, and later, the dropping of two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and later Nagasaki, the US conveyed a sense of distrust for the Soviets. This led to tense American-Soviet relations, which eventually brought about the Cold War."

From the Paper
"The driving force behind use of the atomic weapon was a force that was similar to nuclear fission itself due to the complexity of the diverse commitment, energies, and effort focused into these endeavor. Universities were deeply involved in this endeavor and created an entire segmented program in which none of the program sectors were aware of the research of other program sectors. German scientists were well aware of this information and agreed to come to the United States and join research with the United States. As well, research was an effort characterized by cooperation and collaboration among universities and various research sectors among the Manhattan Project's efforts. The entire cognitive citizenry of the United States was aware that a new age of military warfare was soon to come and the United States was collectively in the majority willing to affirm that since it was to happen the United States must be the first to accomplish the atomic bomb."
