This book is an edited version of the LAMS-2532 report written in 1946 and 1947 originally titled Manhattan District History: Project Y, The Los Alamos project. Some material has been declassified since the original 1947 edition was been added. Original factual material has not been changed. This volume tells an important part of the story of one of the greatest scientific achievements in history-the story of the founding of the Laboratory at Los Alamos through the successful completion of its secret mission to create the first atomic bomb. The celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of the Laboratory provides an appropriate occasion to reprint this important and significant historical report, compiled in 1947, from internal documents. Few individuals, even those who are knowledgeable about that early era, will read this work without feeling a sense of profound discovery at the importance of those daily events which led to the most dramatic technological development of this century. The United States and the free world in general, owe a great debt to those who, prior to World War II, saw that science and technology could be vital for the preservation of freedom. It was such a group that assembled at Los Alamos. Science and technology have long shaped the outcome of international conflicts, domestic policies, and society in general.
