Richard Greening Hewlett (February 12, 1923 - September 1, 2015) was an American public historian best known for his work as the Chief Historian of the United States Atomic Energy Commission. He received his master's degree in 1948 and his Ph.D. in 1952. In 1952 he joined the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), compiling classified progress reports from all of the many branches of the AEC for the Commissioners. In 1957, Hewlett became the first official historian of the AEC. Hewlett produced his first volume of the official history, covering the time period of the Manhattan Project through the formation of the AEC. The New World, 1939-1946, published in 1962, and was a runner-up for the 1963 Pulitzer Prize. Hewlett continued his work and published the second volume, Atomic Shield, 1947-1952 in 1969, which received the David D. Lloyd prize from the Harry S. Truman Library Institute. For both of these books, Hewlett was awarded the Distinguished Employee Award by the AEC, the highest employee award given by the agency. Hewlett retired in 1980 while he was still working on his third volume of AEC history. It was published in 1989 as Atoms for Peace and War, 1953-1961. The book won the Richard W. Leopold Prize from the Organization of American Historians as the best book of the year on a U.S. federal government agency. In 1947 the nation's atomic energy establishment amounted to little more than the remnants of the military organization and facilities which had produced the world's first atomic weapons. By the end of 1952 the Commission's domain included an arsenal of nuclear weapons, a refurbished and greatly enlarged complex of research and production facilities, and a dozen experimental or research reactors. Even more significant, the Commission's activities were no longer completely isolated from the rest of American life, as had been the work of the Manhattan project during World War II. By 1952 hundreds of nuclear scientists were receiving financial support from the Commission for research in their own laboratories, and private industry was beginning to take an active part in developing nuclear power. The Commission itself was no longer unique among Government agencies in terms of its independence and special status; it was becoming an integral part of the Executive Branch. Our task-to explain how this transformation occurred-proved more difficult than the one faced in Volume I. In place of a concentrated effort focused on a single goal, we were confronted by a variety of complex forces, by a rapidly expanding and evolving program which was documented by a mass of records several times that available for Volume I. Although we felt a temptation to adopt a topical and analytical approach, which several of our advisers urged upon us, we rejected this form of organization in favor of the narrative, chronological style of Volume I. A string of loosely joined essays would have been easier to write, but we thought it our duty ashistorians to attempt a more fundamental synthesis. We are content to stand on the position set forth in the Preface to Volume I: "Whatever the subject, whatever the essential significance of the event, whether and how we relate that event depends on its relevance to the central perspective. We think this criterion makes for good history. Indeed, the complex interrelationships of modern science, industry, and government make it impossible to take any other approach if history is to be kept within reasonable bounds."The central perspective of Volume II was clearly to be that of the five Commissioners, but it was more difficult to define the unifying theme of a book encompassing a spectrum of subjects from radiation genetics to cost accounting and from community management to foreign policy. No one theme could bridge all these topics, but we soon detected in the documents a strong undercurrent of development around which most of our material could be organized. This central idea was the inexorable shift in the Commission's aims from the idealistic, hopeful anticipation of the peaceful atom to the grim realization that for reasons of national security atomic energy would have to continue to bear the image of war. Hence our title, Atomic Shield, a phrase used by scientists, military leaders, and the Commissioners themselves to justify, or perhaps to rationalize, the nation's expanding nuclear arsenal.

DJ has some wear, soiling, chips and tears.. xviii, 718 p. Illustrations. Sources. Notes. Appendices. Index. Foreword by George E. Mowry, the Chairman, Historical Advisory Committee. From Wikipedia: "Richard Greening Hewlett (born 1923) is an American public historian best known for his work as the Chief Historian of the United States Atomic Energy...Hewlett was born in Toledo, Ohio in 1923. In 1941 he attended Dartmouth College, but after the attack on Pearl Harbor he enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps working in work related to meteorology. With a number of other privates he attended Bowdoin College for a year focusing on science. In June 1944 he did work relating to using radar to track weather balloons, and eventually the military sent him to Harvard University to study in the electronics school. In early 1945 he was sent to Western China as a radiosonde operator, sending meteorological information by radio to U.S. forces which used them in planning bombing raids on Japan. After the war, Hewlett attended graduate school in history at the University of Chicago, though he never completed his undergraduate degree. He received his master's degree in 1948 and his Ph.D. in 1952, writing his thesis on Lewis Cass, a nineteenth-century Michigan politician. While he was completing his dissertation, Hewlett accepted a position as an intelligence specialist in the United States Air Force, examining open literature on factories in the Soviet Union. Hewlett found the job tedious and in 1952 leaped at the chance to be a program analyst in the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), compiling classified progress reports from all of the many branches of the AEC for the Commissioners. Hewlett later said that this job gave him a good general overview of the AEC and how it worked. In 1957, Hewlett was contacted in order to find a historian to write an official history of the AEC, a pet project by Commissioner Lewis Strauss. Hewlett was unable to find any academic historians interested, however, in part because science and technology were generally not considered an interesting subject of historical study at the time. Because of his history backgrounds, Hewlett himself was offered the job, which he happily accepted, and became the first official historian of the AEC. Hewlett sought out another public historian, Kent Roberts Greenfield, who was the Chief Historian of the United States Army. Greenfield encouraged Hewlett to establish an independent review board of academic historians who would serve as a buffer between Hewlett and the government bureaucrats who would inevitably object to certain portrayals of past U.S. government activities. Though he faced some initial resistance to the establishment of the Atomic Energy Commission's Historical Advisory Committee, it was eventually approved by Strauss himself on the recommendation of one of Strauss's favorite academic historians. Part of Hewlett's work in writing the AEC history was acquiring historical AEC records before they were destroyed, encouraging local AEC agencies and branches to think about their records in a historical manner, and marking historical records for depositing at the National Archives. Hewlett later recounted an incident in which he was called, as Chief Historian, to witness to opening of an old wartime filing cabinet found under a stairwell of an AEC building. After the locksmith had opened the cabinet, Hewlett reached in and the first document he pulled out was a letter signed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The cabinet turned out to be the wartime correspondence files of Vannevar Bush and James B. Conant, and is currently considered one of the most important collections of documents relating to Manhattan Project history. After going over thousands of secret and formerly secret records, Hewlett eventually produced his first volume of the official history, covering the time period of the Manhattan Project through the formation of the AEC. The New World, 1939-1946 was published in 1962, and was a runner-up for the 1963 Pulitzer Prize. Hewlett continued his work and.
