Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this book as a gift for my mom. She moved to Los Alamos in 1951 and has really enjoyed reminiscing about the housing and people she first met. A must read for the Los Alamos oldtimers, a fun walk down memory lane.

Fourth in the series of monographs, THE LOS ALAMOSSTORY. A fascinating look at how the Atomic Energy Commission builtthe town, housing project by housing project, after World War II. Anoften humorous account of the growing pains caused by the ubiquitous"point system" and the difficulty it caused in obtaining housing, aswell as the unique architecture of a government-built community.
