Groueff (whose name I find impossible to spell) wrote a book ("The Manhattan Project") in the 1967. It is the source of many classic anecdotes about the Manhattan Project, but was entirely un-footnoted and so hard to use well. His interviews provide many of the source quotes.

My favorite example of this: Bart Bernstein criticized Stan Norris for using an alleged Groves anecdote from Groueff uncritically, says it probably came from a Groves foe like Szilard. Turns out, a source of this anti-Groves slander was... Groves himself! https://www.manhattanprojectvoices.org/oral-histories/general-leslie-grovess-interview-part-6 …pic.twitter.com/RNygILnOP4
