The first source that will be analysed is a book, Their Day in the Sun: Women of the Manhattan Project, written by Ruth Howes and Caroline Herzenberg who are both physicists and published in 1999. The purpose of this source is to reveal the hidden story of the contribution of women in efforts to develop the atomic bomb.

America realized that Adolf Hitler’s Germany obtained a massive amount of scientific talent. With their access had necessary raw materials and knowledge of the splitting of the uranium atom, they had the industrial capacity to produce an atomic bomb(“Manhattan Project”2014).

Still being the first of its kind dealing with mass crimes against humanity, the trial lacked precedent, legality and had its own criticisms too which will be further discussed in the essay.
The creation of the atom bomb came with many accounts of sabotage and spying, all in the name of war and science.
