Autorenporträt
Authors Toni Michnovicz Gibson and Jon Michnovicz have sifted through their father's remarkable snapshots of the sleepy town that just happened to be the epicenter of the Manhattan Project. With official government portraits, documentation of award ceremonies, and Michnovicz's own photographic perusings of this unique western town, Los Alamos: 1944-1947 examines everyday life during this extraordinary era in the community's history.
