The author discusses the research he conducted into the government financing of the atomic bomb development project at Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico during World War II. Topics explored include the military spending bill of the administration of then U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the voting reportedly held by the U.S. Congress on the funding of the bomb, and the meeting between lawmakers and then U.S. war secretary Henry L. Stimson about the Manhattan Project.
