Seeing Innovation: A Journey Through The Manhattan Project
Emily Seyl's richly illustrated history of the Trinity Test reveals how the Manhattan Project transformed innovation—and forever changed the world.
- The Manhattan Project employed approximately 130,000 people across three major secret sites (Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, Hanford) from 1942 to 1945.
- The Trinity Test on July 16, 1945, at Alamogordo, New Mexico, produced a 20-kiloton explosion that vaporized its support tower.
- The project cost roughly $2 billion at the time, equivalent to over $30 billion in 2025 dollars.
