Summary:

"In the spring of 1943 thousands of men and women began arriving in a remote part of south central Washington State. They knew little about why the U.S. government had hired them--only that it was a top-secret project to support the war effort. In a race against time, workers began building a massive factory to produce plutonium for the nuclear weapon that ended World War II. It was one of the biggest gambles in American history and a project that changed the world forever."--Container.
