Description
"This book examines the ongoing debates over workers' rights at Oak Ridge - notably the controversy surrounding the new federal program intended to compensate workers and their families for injuries sustained on the job." "Drawing on extensive research into oral history collections, transcripts of government proceedings, and other primary sources, At Work in the Atomic City is the first detailed account of the workers who built and labored in the facilities that helped ensure the success of the Manhattan Project - a story known, heretofore, only in broad outline."--BOOK JACKET.
