Guaranteed Authentic
United States Army Lt. General LESLIE R. GROVES index card signed with bold black ink full signature and with additional "Lieut Gen USA (Ret)" rank inscription also in Groves' hand. Groves was a United States Army Corps of Engineers officer who oversaw the construction of the Pentagon and directed the Manhattan Project, a top secret research project that developed the atomic bomb during World War II.
Famously portrayed by actor Matt Damon in the blockbuster movie OPPENHEIMER, Groves took charge of the Manhattan Project in September 1942. Groves and J. Robert Oppenheimer had a complex relationship built on mutual need and respect; Groves overlooked Oppenheimer's security risks, recognizing his unique ability to manage the scientific effort, while Oppenheimer respected Groves' authority, bridging the gap between military and academic worlds.
