Atomic Bombshell: Canada's Complicity in the Manufacture of the First Atomic Bomb: Most North American eyes were focussed on the great battles and the heroic generals in the Second World War. Had eyes been turned toward Northwestern Canada, they would have observed a drama unfolding that, in August, 1945, blew conventional battle tactics out of existence. Cloaked in wartime security was the super-secret Canol Pipeline Project, which was piggybacked onto U.S. Army's Alaska Highway Project. The big boss of the Alaska Highway and Canol Projects had ties to the super-super-secret Manhattan Project which created the first military use of the atomic bomb.

Oscar Grove, a young Canadian newspaper reporter, was given a hush-hush assignment by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to work in this war zone. He found a girlfriend, Coleen, who worked on the Canol Project. They nearly unveiled the secret of how the Canol Project was used to unleash the atom bomb's destructive power.
