    Advances in Historical Studies 2013. Vol.2, No.2, 46-53 Published Online June 2013 in SciRes (http://www.scirp.org/journal/ahs) DOI:10.4236/ahs.2013.22008 Reclaiming Realism for the Left: Gar Alperovitz and the Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb Peter N. Kirstein History Department, St. Xavier University, Chicago, USA Email: [email protected] Received December 24th, 2012; revised February 14th, 2013; accepted February 22nd, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Peter N. Kirstein. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons At- tribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Sixty-seven years after the decision to use the atomic bomb in World War II, controversy remains whether the United States was justified in using fission bombs in combat. Gar Alperovitz, the great revi- sionist historian, in his Atomic Diplomacy and The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb transformed our knowledge of the geopolitical motives behind the atomic attack against Japan at the end of World War II. These uranium and plutonium-core bombs were political, not primarily military in purpose and motive behind their deployment. His analysis will be compared to realists such as Hans Morgenthau, Kenneth Waltz, Henry Kissinger and George Kennan who for the most part questioned unrestrained violence and offered nuanced views on the wisdom of using such indiscriminate, savage weapons of war. The paper will explore Alperovitz’s classic argument that out of the ashes of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the A-bomb drove the incipient Cold War conflict. American national-security elites construed the bomb as a political- diplomatic lever to contain Soviet power as much as a military weapon to subdue Japan.

  • An Oral History of the Manhattan Project
    An Oral History of The Manhattan Project By M. Abend February 2, 2002 TABLE OF CONTENTS • Statement of Purpose • Biography • Historical Contextualization • Interview Transcription • Interview Analysis • Works Consulted STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The purpose of this oral history is to provide a more thorough understanding of the Manhattan Project through an interview with James Pickard, an electrical engineer who worked on the project. The interview not only verifies known facts, but also adds personal emotion and feeling to the history of the project. ‡ TABLE OF CONTENTS BIOGRAPHY James K. Pickard was born on April 4, 1919 in Abilene, Texas. He and his family lived in Abilene throughout the depression while his father worked in town as a doctor. In his childhood years, Mr. Pickard spent his days at home with his family playing tennis on their homemade, backyard court. For his high school education, he attended the New Mexico Military Institute and then proceeded to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) for college in 1941. At M.I.T., Mr. Pickard received his BS and MS degrees in electrical engineering. In the last three years of his schooling at M.I.T., Mr. Pickard worked part-time for the General Electric Company. After his graduation from M.I.T., he began to work full time for General Electric in their electrical engineering department, making and designing equipment. At the outbreak of World War II, Mr. Pickard applied to the navy. He, however, had trouble getting a commission because of his colorblindness. Instead, the General Electric Company recommended that Mr.

  • Oak Ridger, Fred Vaslow, Witnessed July 16, 1945 Trinity Nuclear Test (As Published in the Oak Ridger’S Historically Speaking Column on July 16, 2020)
    Oak Ridger, Fred Vaslow, witnessed July 16, 1945 Trinity nuclear test (As published in The Oak Ridger’s Historically Speaking column on July 16, 2020) This Historically Speaking column will reflect on the amazing experiment at the Trinity Site on July 16, 1945. It seems well to include such an article at on the 75th anniversary of the world’s first atomic explosion, ushering in the Nuclear Age. It also seems appropriate that the key figure in this article is an Oak Ridger, Fred Vaslow, who lived to be 100 years old. Just a few weeks ago, I was contacted by a National Geographic writer who was searching for the last surviving person who was at the Trinity test on July 16, 1945, and he thought that might be Fred Vaslow. I agreed to see if I could locate Fred for him. When I went to Fred’s house, his neighbor told me that he had passed away in March of this year and that his wife had just passed away the previous Monday. I contacted the National Geographic writer with the sad news. He was, of course, disappointed and I expressed to him that I sure wish he had contacted me sooner. So, in Fred’s memory, Carolyn Krause asked me if we might publish a Historically Speaking column featuring Fred Vaslow and his experience at the Trinity Site. I agreed, and I know you will enjoy Carolyn’s tribute to Fred.: *** One of, if not, the longest living of the witnesses of the world’s first atomic bomb test 75 years ago was Fred Vaslow, who died in March in Oak Ridge at the age of 100.

The advent of nuclear weapons, brought about by the Manhattan Project, not only helped bring an end to World War II but ushered in the atomic age and determined how the next war—the Cold War—would be fought. The Manhattan Project also became the organizational model behind the impressive achievements of American “big science” during the second half of the twentieth century, which demonstrated the relationship between basic scientific research and national security. This edition of the Office of History’s perennial “bestseller” is part of a joint project between the Office of History and Heritage Resources and the National Nuclear Security Administration to produce a three- volume National Security History Series documenting the Department of Energy’s role in developing, testing, producing, and managing the Nation’s nuclear arsenal.

    America’s Greatest Projects and their Engineers - II Course No: B05-003 Credit: 5 PDH Dominic P. Perrotta, P.E. Continuing Education and Development, Inc. 22 Stonewall Court Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677 P: (877) 322-5800 [email protected] America's Greatest Projects & Their Engineers-II 1. The Manhattan Project This course traces technological events leading up to the dropping of the first two atomic bombs on Japan, including the ideas and the attempts by other nations to develop similar weapons that could ultimately make them the world's strongest military powers. This course describes efforts of many individual U.S. engineers and scientists to achieve this engineering feat. A. Early Events B. The United States Plan C. U.S. Race to Completion D. Result/Summary 1 Introduction A lot has been made about the fact that the two atomic bombs dropped over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, while they likely brought a quick end to World War II, also killed nearly 130,00 Japanese civilians as well as an estimated 20,000 Japanese soldiers. Unless your Uncle Tony was a part of the U.S. Infantry that battled the Japanese in the Pacific Theater and suffered the trauma and deprivation at the hands of the heinous Japanese military, you might wonder if there could have been a better (more humane) way to end the war. Indeed that is a fair question to ask about the carnage that was wreaked on the mostly innocent Japanese population. However, this course deals with the achievements and successes of the many engineers and scientists who put their lives on temporary hold in order to assure that the worst criminal in world history, Adolph Hitler, would never have the opportunity to reign supreme.

Tularosa, New Mexico HSR Report No. 9831 White Sands Missile Range Archaeological Research Report No. 01-07 March 2001 Approved for public release. Cover photograph: Aerial photograph of Trinity Base Camp, July 1945. Courtesy National Archives, College Park, Maryland PREFACE Numerous books and articles have been published about the Manhattan Project, Los Alamos, and the Trinity Test, the detonation of the first atomic bomb. Secrecy and security were essential to the project, indicated by the isolated location of the Los Alamos laboratory for the manufacture and assembly of the weapon. For the Trinity Test site, a very remote and isolated location in central New Mexico was selected. The soldiers assigned to the Trinity Test site did not know their final destination when they received their travel orders to New Mexico. With a few rare exceptions, the soldiers and other personnel who set up the experiment did not know the purpose of their work until the actual explosion took place. To maintain this high level of secrecy, a base camp, the headquarters of the McDonald Brothers Ranch, was established a few miles southwest of Ground Zero. While the soldiers and scientists developed the necessary infrastructure for the test, Trinity Base Camp was their home. Because of the high level of security, the soldiers never left Base Camp during the seven months prior to the Trinity event.

    The Manhattan Project: Exploding Into the Nuclear Age Michael Amin and David Youssef Junior Group Website Annotated Bibliography Works Cited Primary Sources Books Fermi, Laura. Atoms in the Family: My Life with Enrico Fermi. Chicago, IL: U of Chicago, ​ ​ 1954. Web. This book is by Enrico Fermi’s wife Laura Fermi. We used this book starting from page 97, because the beginning is mostly about his early life. The book explains Enrico Fermi’s clearly vast role in the­the bombardment of the uranium nucleus. It also explains his work in the Chicago Pile­1. This book mainly helps us with our Origin and Exploration pages. Frisch, Otto Robert. What Little I Remember. Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 1979. Web. ​ ​ Otto Frisch is credited with the naming the process of bombarding neutrons, “nuclear fission” while skiing with his Aunt Lise Meitner. In this book, Frisch talks about his discovery along with his role in the Manhattan Project. Frisch also explains the that the scientists “did not believe in the atom.” We used this for our origin and exploration page. Groves, Leslie R. Now It Can Be Told; the Story of the Manhattan Project. New York: Harper, ​ ​ 1962. Print. In this book, General Leslie R. Groves talks about the Manhattan Project as a whole and the specific role he had in the making of the atomic bomb. He also tells us problems he faced while managing the Manhattan Project, which clearly affected him emotionally, physically, and psychologically. This book is good for our research because it is specific, and some of the other sources we used are more general.
