Excellent study of Los Alamos by the granddaughter of James B. Conant. Jennet Conant honed her writing craft as a journalist and write beautifully. Having written about Tuxedo Park and her grandfather she had a strong grasp on this history.

This was a new read — somehow I missed the release of this back in the 1990s. The adventures here are just as satisfying as the earliest and the stories of Callum are remarkable.
