Tuxedo
Park: A Wall Street Tycoon and the Secret Palace of Science That Changed
the Course of World War II
by Jennet Conant
This must have been an extremely difficult book to write. Its subject,
Alfred Loomis, never gave interviews during his lifetime and destroyed
all his papers before his death. "Few men of Loomis' prominence and achievement
have gone to greater lengths to foil history," writes author Jennet Conant.
Had he not done these things, his name would be better known--and this
probably wouldn't be the first biography about him. So who was Alfred Loomis?
"He was too complex to categorize--financier, philanthropist, society figure,
physicist, inventor, amateur, dilettante--a contradiction in terms," writes
Conant. Loomis established a private laboratory in New York and hired scientists
whose work in the 1930s wound up making possible both the radar and the
atomic bomb. These developments were essential to Allied victory in the
Second World War. Conant is perhaps the only person who could have pierced
Loomis's obsessive secrecy and written this book; she grew up with Loomis's
children and other members of his family. Her grandfather, Harvard president
James Bryant Conant, was one of Loomis's scientists. Tuxedo Park is an
important book about the development of military technology in the United
States; admirers of The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes and
similar titles won't want to miss it. --John Miller - Amazon.com
