John Matlock said First You Build Three Towns. One of the things that the Manhattan project did in World War II was to build three new towns: Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, and Hanford Washington.

In January of 1943 General Groves ordered the commandeering of 670 square miles of Washington State land as "necessary to the public interest." On it he built the Hanford plant to produce plutonium.Everything was done one a rush basis, and by 1945 something like 30 pounds of plutonium had been produced.

It is very different from the books focusing on a small set of brilliant physicists at Los Alamos. As someone who worked at PNNL and grew up in Washington State, it was a wonderful window into history for me.
