Country of Origin: United States Country of Publication: United States Abstract: The purpose of this history is to provide a general, nontechnical introduction to the voluminous technical reports evolving from Operation Crossroads. There are many reasons for such a history but it is enough to say here that any assessment of results in a large test operation must take into account in some manner how the results were obtained. The history, therefore, provides a chronological account of the effort, extending over a period of eight months, which the groups under the Director of Ship Material, as well as some other closely related groups, put forth to obtain the results that lie behind the technical reports.
