Dr. Robert Standish Norris joined Federation of American Scientist in July 2011 as a senior fellow for nuclear policy. His principal areas of expertise include all aspects of the nuclear weapons programs of the United States, Soviet Union/Russia, Britain, France, and China, as well as India, Pakistan, and Israel. He was co-editor of NRDC's Nuclear Weapons Databook series and was a co-author of U.S. Nuclear Warhead Production, Volume II (1987); U.S. Nuclear Warhead Facility Profiles, Volume III (1987); Soviet Nuclear Weapons, Volume IV (1989); and British, French and Chinese Nuclear Weapons, Volume V (1994). More recent books include Making the Russian Bomb: From Stalin to Yeltsin (1995) and Atomic Audit: The Costs and Consequences of U.S. Nuclear Weapons Since 1940 (1998), with other authors. He wrote a biography of General Leslie R. Groves, the head of the Manhattan Project that built the atomic bomb during World War II. The book, Racing for the Bomb won the Distinguished Writing Award for best Biography of 2002 from the Army Historical Foundation. Lieutenant General Leslie Richard Groves, Jr. (17 August 1896 13 July 1970) was a United States Army Corps of Engineers officer who oversaw the construction of the Pentagon and directed the Manhattan Project, a top secret project that developed the atomic bomb during World War II. He graduated fourth in his class at the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1918 and was commissioned into the Corps of Engineers. Following the 1931 Nicaragua earthquake, Groves took over responsibility for Managua's water supply system, for which he was awarded the Nicaraguan Presidential Medal of Merit. In 1941, he was given responsibility for the gigantic office complex, which would ultimately become the Pentagon. In September 1942, Groves took charge of the Manhattan Project. He was involved in most aspects of the atomic bomb's development. He directed the construction effort, made critical decisions on the methods of isotope separation and acquired raw materials.
