Final Bibliography
Primary Sources
“Acheson-Lilienthal Report.” Atomic Heritage Foundation,
www.atomicheritage.org/key-documents/acheson-lilienthal-report. This source
helped us understand the whole "compromise" part of the bombings. Back when
the letter was written there was a concern on understanding, so it was asked to
make a group to research the project.
AtomicBombMuseum.org - After the Bomb, www.atomicbombmuseum.org/4_ruins.shtml.
This source gave a lot of pictures and background information about the afterlife
of the bombing. This helped a lot because one of the pages in the website is after
the bombing, so to have a article just about that was great.
“Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.” The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
www.cnduk.org/campaigns/global-abolition/hiroshima-a-nagasaki. We used this
source to understand the basics of the atomic bomb attacks. This source is
showing the dangers of the bombings, so that helped with the list of cons for the
conflict page.
Craig Brown for the Daily Mail. “The life of J. Robert Oppenheimer: The unstable A-
Bomb know-It-All who self-Destructed.” Daily Mail Online, Associated
Newspapers, 25 Nov. 2012, www.dailymail.co.uk/home/books/article-
2237826/The-life-J-Robert-Oppenheimer-The-unstable-A-bomb-know-self-
destructed.html. This source was used as a representative to the maker of the
atomic bomb. It has a lot of qoutes said by him based off of the bomb. It was
really helpful because the after the bomb section has a variety because this is an
american view too.
“Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, atomic physicist and head of the Manhattan Project,” A
photograph of Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, head of the Manhattan Project, who is
often referred to as the "father of the atomic bomb.", 14 Oct. 2015, dp.la/primary-
source-sets/sources/48/. This source was used for knowing who was behind the
Manhattan project. This is really helpful since the Manhattan Project is the bases
of the project to know who started it.
“Herald-Journal.” Google News Archive Search, Google,
news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1876&dat=19450809&id=DjAsAAAAIBAJ&
sjid=9soEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2682%2C3128068&hl=en. We used this as a
background information for the people back then. This was helpful because it’s
really hard to know the mentality of the people back then, the news paper helps
with that.
History.com, A&E Television Networks, www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii/world-
war-ii-history/pictures/hiroshima-and-nagasaki/aftermath-of-atomic-bomb-2. This
source helped us, as the reader understand how strong the bomb was, and how its
left its mark. This picture was two months after the bomb, the damage is still left
unmanageable.
History.com, cdn.history.com/sites/2/2014/01/bomb-exploding-nagasaki-P.jpeg. I used
the pictures in this document to show just how dramatic and dangerous the atomic
bomb was. This image shows how the smoke is towering over the city and it
could be used to show how powerful the bomb is.
“Japan: 70 Years Later, New Fatal Illnesses Linked to Nuclear Bomb.” 4 Aug. 2015,
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmroc-RVhs0&feature=youtu.be. This source was
used as more background information and is used stronger than any other
because of it is an interview and you can feel the expression in the face and
voice of the person being interviewed. The guy being interview was there in
person so that's really helpful because it isn't another article to real its real life
impression.
“How to build a fallout shelter.” A photograph of a fallout shelter, built in the backyard for
personal use to keep people safe during nuclear attack., 15 Oct. 2015,
dp.la/primary-source-sets/sources/58. This source gave us a sense of life on the
other side of attack. It showed life was a struggle, the food was kept in the
bathroom and the bedrooms. It must’ve been really difficult. This was helpful
putting us into the mindset of how serious this topic is.
“Memorandum by Ralph A. Bard, Undersecretary of the Navy, to Secretary of War
Stimson.” Memorandum by Ralph A. Bard, Undersecretary of the Navy, to
Secretary of War Stimson | The Manhattan Project | Historical Documents,
www.atomicarchive.com/Docs/ManhattanProject/Bardmemo.shtml. This source
was used as a background information on a certain bomb.It also says that based
off of the strength of the bomb that Japan should receive a warning prior to the
bombing so it was suggested.
“Memorandum On Test Of Implosion Gadget.” Memorandum On Test Of Implosion
Gadget | The Manhattan Project | Historical Documents,
www.atomicarchive.com/Docs/ManhattanProject/ImplosionTestRequest.shtml.
This source is a note or more a list of attempts of technology. This is helpful
because the reader can somewhat follow along in the process technology went
through. We used this in our project to show we understand the background
knowledge on this topic.
President Harry S. Truman's written approval, in late July 1945, to drop the atomic
bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Japan., 15 Oct. 2015, dp.la/primary-source-
sets/sources/52. This source was kind of the last straw. The president at the time ,
Truman, had signed of permission. That means that the compromise was made, to
send out the bomb.
Taylor, Alan. “Hiroshima: Before and After the Atomic Bombing.” The Atlantic, Atlantic
Media Company, 12 May 2016, www.theatlantic.com/photo/2016/05/hiroshima-
 before-and-after-the-atomic-bombing/482526/.We are using this source to get
background information about life before the bombs. It was very helpful because
it included pictures of the cities before the bombs, so we can clearly see the
damage that the bomb had done to the cities.
“The Cold War Museum.” Cold War Museum,
www.coldwar.org/articles/40s/atomic_bomb_dvlp.asp. This source was very
useful because since its a museum based then you know everything is reliable. SO
the letters about the project weren’t made up.
“The effects of the atomic bombings.” HyperWar: USSBS: The Effects of Atomic Bombs
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki [Chapter 2], Patrick Clancey HyperWar Foundation,
www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/AAF/USSBS/AtomicEffects/AtomicEffects-2.html.
We used this source to provide a visual representation to the information
provided. Also it was very helpful because there's an article based off of the after
effects and that helped with the after the bombing section of this project.
“The Evening Independent.” Google News Archive Search, Google,
news.google.com/newspapers?nid=950&dat=19451116&id=rwtQAAAAIBAJ&sj
id=HlUDAAAAIBAJ&pg=1229%2C4743293&hl=en. We used this source to see
a world view, even the view of a local area, St. Pete, Florida. We also used this as
a background information for the people back then. This was helpful because it’s
really hard to know the mentality of the people back then, the news paper helps
with that.
The Limited Test Ban Treaty banning nuclear weapon tests between the US, Great
Britain, and the Soviet Union, signed August 5, 1963., 15 Oct. 2015,
dp.la/primary-source-sets/sources/60. This source was just to back up the safety
measures taken. It's the actual book from back then so to so the writing in was
really beneficial.
The text of an eyewitness account of the Trinity bomb test, 1945., 14 Oct. 2015,
dp.la/primary-source-sets/sources/51/. This gave factual evidence on the testings
of the first bomb. It was very helpful to the research of this project because it’s a
witness on a testing soit should be very similar to the bombing in Japan.
This 1955 civil defense film, "Duck and Cover," teaches children how to respond to an
atomic attack., 15 Oct. 2015, dp.la/primary-source-sets/sources/56. This source
wasn't necessarily used for the website but more for us to understand the
precautions that they used for the atomic bomb. It was very fun to watch and its
useful for the mindset since if Taylor and I were this age back then, we would
have been show that video in school.
“William J. Wilcox, Jr.'s Interview.” William J. Wilcox, Jr.'s Interview | Manhattan
Project Voices, www.manhattanprojectvoices.org/oral-histories/william-j-wilcox-
jrs-interview. This source was used to give the impression of the origin of the
 bomb. It was helpful to the research process because we got to see and a positive
impression on the bombings.

Secondary Sources

“August, 1945 - Hiroshima.” WW2 Cartoons, 25 June 2012, ww2cartoons.org/august-

1945-hiroshima/. We used this source to represent the compromise through a
visual. It also brings a little entertainment and that helped with representing the
data on our website.
“Conant & the Bomb.” Atomic Heritage Foundation, www.atomicheritage.org/key-
documents/conant-bomb. This source was used as background information. This
source seems to be a school assignment from Harvard, the college.
“Confident Gen. Groves.” Atomic Heritage Foundation, www.atomicheritage.org/key-
documents/confident-gen-groves. This article is based off of an interview of
somebody's opinion of the “maker of manhattan”. It’s not the best to base your
research but reading this made me opinionated.
Development of the Atomic Bomb２,
www.pcf.city.hiroshima.jp/kids/KPSH_E/hiroshima_e/sadako_e/subcontents_e/0
4kaihatsu_2_e.html. This document is a children level understanding of the
timeline of the atomic bomb. This was used to learn the bases before doing deep
research.
Hall, Michelle. “By the Numbers: World War II's atomic bombs.” CNN, Cable News
Network, 6 Aug. 2013, www.cnn.com/2013/08/06/world/asia/btn-atomic-
bombs/index.html. This source was really helpful for the after the bombing part of
the project. This article gave a lot of stats based of survival for the bombing.
“Hiroshima, the pictures they didn't want us to see.” Fogonazos,
www.fogonazos.es/2007/02/hiroshima-pictures-they-didnt-want-us_05.html. This
source helped us realize the struggles the bomb put Japan through. When thinking
about forfeiting is very weak but when looking through this source there is a lot of
damage and horrifying images put to play.
History.com Staff. “Manhattan Project.” History.com, A&E Television Networks, 2017,
www.history.com/topics/the-manhattan-project. This source was very useful
because it was a different way of gathering information. I think it benefitted the
research skill more than the project itself.
KurdstanPlanetarium. “Einstein & Atomic Bomb Development.” YouTube, YouTube, 5
Mar. 2009, www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc2XnvSN2HY. This source gave us the
scientist point of view on the atomic bomb. Thats helpful because there's only a
couple things that could be of their perspective.
“Meitner & Frisch On Nuclear Fission.” Atomic Heritage Foundation,
www.atomicheritage.org/key-documents/meitner-frisch-nuclear-fission. This
 source gave us the first idea of how the Manhattan Project started. It was written
by the scientist so the ideas possible make it reliable.
Muza-chan. “Hiroshima Day, 70 years - 20 notable locations to commemorate the atomic
bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.” Muza-Chan's Gate to Japan, Muza-
Chan.net, 6 Aug. 2015, muza-chan.net/japan/index.php/blog/hiroshima-day-70-
years-notable-locations-to-commemorate-the-atomic-bombings-of-hiroshima-and-
nagasaki. We used this source to understand the apology from Japan and to know
what the peace statue looks like. This article was very useful for the after the
bombing section on the project. That is because its an article about 70 years after
the bombings.
Pesce, Nicole Lyn. “H-Bombs versus A-Bombs: What you need to know.” NY Daily
News, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, 6 Jan. 2016,
www.nydailynews.com/news/world/h-bombs-a-bombs-article-1.2487112. We
used this source to see a visual of the bomb before explosion. That’s helpful
because you can see the damage the bomb has done by comparing the pre images
to the after.
“Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA.” Sasakawa USA, spfusa.org/. We used this source as
a background opinion and facts about the two places, mainly for the picture
though. We chose this picture because it had an japan flag next to usa. Stating that
it seemed very representative to have the flags fly together.
Taylor, Alan. “Hiroshima: Before and After the Atomic Bombing.” The Atlantic, Atlantic
Media Company, 12 May 2016, www.theatlantic.com/photo/2016/05/hiroshima-
before-and-after-the-atomic-bombing/482526/. This source was a one of a kind
source, some of our sources were hiroshima and nagasaki after the bomb. Saying
that this source is seventy one years after the bombings!
The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica. “Manhattan Project.” Encyclopædia Britannica,

background information on the Manhattan Project. This source was helpful
because without really knowing what it was it gave you the basic facts.
“The Manhattan Project.” AMNH, www.amnh.org/exhibitions/einstein/peace-and-
war/the-manhattan-project/. This source happens to describe the upcoming of the
Manhattan Project. This is helpful because when going on, the Manhattan Project
was very secretive.
“The Manhattan Project and the atomic bomb (Article).” Khan Academy,
www.khanacademy.org/humanities/ap-us-history/period-7/apush-us-wwii/a/the-
manhattan-project-and-the-atomic-bomb. This was very helpful because khan
academy is usually for just learning the topic. So when starting the research there
was a lot of key terms that were not understood.
The Manhattan Project, gk12.rice.edu/trs/science/Atom/man.htm. This source gave us a
lot of background knowledge based off of the Manhattan Project. Its very
interesting because it was such an secretive project to have information to peace
together for better understanding of the topic.
“The Manhattan Project.” Ushistory.org, Independence Hall Association,
www.ushistory.org/us/51f.asp. This source was helpful for understanding. It was
mainly used for understanding the topic before going deep into research.
U.S. Army Center of Military History. “ARMY.MIL, The Official Homepage of the
United States Army.” The American Soldier, 1945, 4 Jan. 2010,
www.army.mil/e2/-images/2010/01/03/59062/index.html. We used this source as
a guide of the mind of military in 1945. This is very useful because there isn’t a
lot of sources military base.
violator791. “24 Hours After Hiroshima 1/3.” YouTube, YouTube, 9 Jan. 2011,
www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY9VwCE_Dsg. This source was very helpful
because it should a lot of visuals. Saying that, it's different than articles because
words go a long way. The video helped the watcher experience the situation more.
