Letter To The Editor: Author Chuck Montaño Comments On His Book ‘Los Alamos: A Whistleblower’s Diary’
By Chuck MontañoI thank the Los Alamos Daily Post for its recent review of my book. The book is titled Los Alamos: A Whistleblower’s Diary, and is a “70th Anniversary Reflection” focusing on
significant issues and events other books about Los Alamos tend to overlook.
The centerpiece of my book is the obstruction of justice that happened in 2003, when two seasoned criminal investigators—Glenn Walp and Steve Doran—were terminated suddenly
