The City That Did Not Exist
from Stranger Nonfiction
In 1942, the U.S. Army built an entire city in rural Tennessee and told no one it existed. Seventy-five thousand people lived and worked there for three years. Most never knew what they were building. This is the story of Oak Ridge — and what it reveals about silence, trust, and the questions we choose not to ask. Hosted on Acast.
