Good reading: Area 51 by Annie Jacobsen
Talks about how the Manhattan Project rolled out, how we had to invent a system for safe storage and strategic distribution for those (silos, SAC bases, more) on the fly and from complete scratch, then how an infrastructure for maintaining discrete testing and operation of our proprietary military technology. She interviews a bunch of Department of Energy retired old guys who saw it all happen. Jacobsen's "Operation Paperclip" is kind of like the followup to it. Exhaustively researched and documented, and fun reading.
