THE LAST VOICE - JOSÉ IGNACIO LATORRE MARÍA TER...

Most human beings don't manage to achieve fame. Roy J. Glauber did so for two different
reasons. Glauber was not only a Nobel-Prize winning physicist  but also one of the last
surviving scientists who worked in Los Alamos in the Theoretical Division of the Manhattan
Project. He was a witness to all the events and knew all the scientists associated with the
creation and launch of the first atomic bombs. This book is the product of a series of long
interviews held with Roy over three years: in Benasque (Spain) in 2011  and later in Singapore
and Cambridge (USA). Its pages give a first-hand account of a true protagonist  one who is
independent  lucid  sagacious and committed to the truth. The authors have respectfully
preserved his spirit: his voice is the one that matters. The authors asked the questions and
they relay his answers. Their comments are confined to the footnotes and to brief explanatory
paragraphs  added simply to provide certain relevant details. The importance of the events that
Glauber describes here is indisputable  as therefore is the book itself. The events narrated in
its pages will remain part of world history  perhaps for centuries or even millennia. We live
today in the shadow of the decisions made at that time.
