A Biographical Study of General Leslie R. Groves

戈德堡博士正在继续研究曼哈顿工兵区总司令莱斯利·R·格罗夫斯将军的传记。没有关于格罗夫斯的学术传记被写出来，这一事实足以证明这个项目的合理性。在对格罗夫斯的几乎所有治疗中，1942年9月，在OSRD主任万尼瓦尔·布什的办公室里，他似乎完全成熟，无法解释。戈德伯格博士的研究为理解莱斯利·R·格罗夫斯是谁、为什么他被选为原子弹项目负责人以及他为什么如此有效提供了一个背景。此外，这项研究是重新分析第二次世界大战期间和之后美国科学和技术研究界军事部门和民间部门之间关系变化的工具。这笔赠款允许完成这一项目的档案研究。

Dr. Goldberg is continuing his research toward a biography of General Leslie R. Groves, Commanding General of the Manhattan Engineer District. The fact that no scholarly biography of Groves has been written would be reason enough to justify this project. In almost all treatments of Groves, he appears full blown and unexplained in September 1942 in the office of OSRD Director Vannevar Bush. Dr. Goldberg's study provides a context for understanding who Leslie R. Groves was, why he was picked to head the atom bomb project and why he was so effective. In addition, this study is a vehicle for analyzing anew the changing relationship between the miliary and civilian sectors of the American scientific and technological research communities during and immediately after World War II. This grant allows the completion of the archival research for this project.
