Above all, Groves will be identified with his central role in creating the bomb, and Norris has written what will likely stand as the defining, if not definitive, narrative of that tale, contributing an essential volume to the growing collection of major studies of key actors in the birth of the nuclear age.
Robert S. "Stan" Norris, a veteran analyst of nuclear affairs for the Natural Resources Defense Council, decided to pick up the challenge of assessing this crucial figure in the creation and early history of the atomic bomb.
Then Groves tends to recede from the conventional narrative, except for occasional run-ins with uppity characters like Leo Szilard or periodic exhortations to Oppie, before resurfacing in the summer of 1945, when he pressed unsuccessfully (he was overruled by Stimson) for the inclusion of Kyoto on the target list.

 Mahncke review
Robert Norris, research associate with the Natural Resources Defense Council and scholar of nuclear issues, has written a long-overdue biography of General Groves.
While the central theme of this work is Groves’s leadership of the Manhattan Project, Norris does a thorough job of integrating into the story his formative years, family, Army career prior to the project, and postwar role in establishing a national policy for atomic weapons.
Groves, who had had a distinguished career as an Army engineer and had been the overseer of the building of the Pentagon, was selected to head the Manhattan Project in August 1942.

Groves "left a trove of private papers, which Norris has deftly exploited in addition to office logs and Army records and numerous interviews that he and Goldberg conducted.
Groves also worked to lock the other allied countries out of the project as well, with varying degrees of success, and even ordered that some of his own scientists be followed by security agents.
The other important factor was that Groves is a critical part of the story of this remarkable project that changed the course of the 20th century in a number of ways.

 AddALL.com - Racing for the Bomb: General Leslie R. Groves, the Manhattan Project's Indispensable Man
COLONEL LESLIE R. GROVES was a career officer in the Army Corps of Engineers, fresh from overseeing hundreds of military construction projects, including the Pentagon, when he was given the job in September 1942 of building the atomic bomb.
I had always thought of General Leslie Groves as a fringe character in the story of the atomic bomb, says Seymour Hersh, a military martinet widely ridiculed by the nuclear physicists.
Norris has rewritten the history of the most important event of World War II and in so doing has given us the best account yet of the military colossus that built America s first nuclear bombs.

 Amazon.com: Racing for the Bomb : General Leslie R. Groves, the Manhattan Project's Indispensable Man: Books: Robert S. Norris
Leslie R. Groves entered West Point on the eve of World War I. When the United States entered the war, the Academy's curriculum was compressed into a two year matriculation in the belief that many new officers would be needed quickly on the European front.
Leslie Groves is that administrator, the take-charge guy who knew how to inspire, find competent people to whom he delegated tasks, cajole and bully his way into the historical achievement of the first working atomic bomb.
Groves protected the stockpile, and since the weapons were stored as component parts, Groves could obfuscate the true strategic strength of the American arsenal as political needs dictated.
