Item description from seller

Octavo, xiv, 464pp, [2]. Black cloth, title stamped in gilt on the spine. Stated "First Edition," with the first printing publication code "B-M" on the copyright page. Light dust remnant along top of text block, internally clean. In the publisher's first state dust jacket, $6.95 retail price on the front flap, a few closed tears and chipping along the margins, exceptionally bright colors along the spine, a near fine example. Includes authentication paperwork from University Archives. This copy is signed on the half title by Lesle R. Groves. Lt. Gen. Leslie Richard Groves Jr. (1896-1970) was the director of the Manhattan Project during World War II. A West Point graduate of 1918, Groves initially worked on military construction projects, including the Pentagon, before being appointed in 1942 to oversee the development of the atomic bomb. He managed the project's vast industrial, scientific, and logistical operations, coordinating work at sites such as Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, and Hanford, and worked closely with J. Robert Oppenheimer. Matt Damon portrayed Groves in the 2023 film, Oppenheimer, which won an Academy Award for Best Picture.
