I'm reading 'Now It Can Be Told' by Brigadier General Leslie R. Groves. When the book starts he's still Colonel Groves and is responsible for the construction of the Pentagon.
As this winds down he's looking forward to being posted into combat but is told that he has to stay in the USA as there's an important job that needs doing.
He's then promoted and put in charge of the Manhattan Engineering District and ordered to build the atomic bomb.
The book is his own version of events and is worth a read.
