Miller Moseley lived a quiet, unassuming life. Many authors urged him to tell them his story. Miller politely declined. Later, he would tell his story to one person, Stella Brooks. Miller’s wife said, “Stella, you have the magic key. Miller tells you aspects of his life that he has never told anyone, not even me.” Stella uncovered a life so unbelievable that sportswriter and radio host Randy Galloway said, “This book needs to be a movie for many reasons.”

UNBELIEVABLE; The Unmasking of Dr. Harrison Miller Moseley is Miller’s true story.

Life at the orphanage probably contributed to Miller’s ability to adapt and work with prominent scientists on the Manhattan Project. He was no stranger to being thrust into an unknown environment with important tasks thrust at him. At the orphanage, Miller succeeded in academics and in football. He was one of the smallest footballers on the field, an All-District player that the local papers loved to follow. Miller’s mental and physical hardships as a child paved the road for the mental and physical strength he would need while working with the ‘material.’ Later, the ‘material’ would be renamed – The Atomic Bomb.

Miller’s brother, Cecil, had been wounded sometime between November 20 and November 23, 1943 during the operation against the Japanese in the Battle of Tarawa Atoll. In that battle, they fought 4,500 determined Japanese soldiers. On the fourth day, the Japanese launched a suicidal banzai attack and fought almost to the last man; 17 surrendered. Cecil was shot up and taken to a hospital ship in Hawaii for healing and rest.

Japan’s Kamikaze pilots were a huge concern to Miller as he made the trip to his brother’s side.

As Cecil lay recuperating at West Loch, Pearl Harbour, the Navy was preparing the ships for the next planned attack against the Japanese at the Marianas Islands, code named “Operation Forager.” Just as they finished changing Cecil’s bandages, several loud explosions rocked the harbor. Body parts were thrown hundreds of feet. Men who jumped from burning ships were killed or injured when run over by rescue vessels. Cecil was among the wounded and not given much chance of surviving.

Philip Abelson, Ross Gunn, Nathan Rosen and many others were among the significant scientists Miller worked with. Ross Gunn was the first to coin the phrase, ‘Atomic.’

The collaboration of Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky and American-Israeli Physicist Nathan Rosen – who was the first American born physicist to work as Einstein’s assistant – resulted in one of the most famous theoretical articles ever written on quantum mechanics, the EPR Paradox. It became the most important paper Einstein wrote after fleeing Germany and moving to America.

It is believed that because Miller’s depression era football team drew huge crowds, a new all sport stadium, Farrington Field, was built in Fort Worth, Texas. The engraved statues on the facade are in the Smithsonian Museum and considered a special, pricey, ‘extra’ in hard times.

After graduating from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas, Miller furthered his education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Because of his work on the Manhattan Project, he would have to later return to Chapel Hill to complete his PhD.

THE EPOCH TIMES – “…Brooks’s enthralling book gives readers a front-row seat to one of the most significant scientific achievements in modern history. Her descriptions are vivid, and her skillful use of language helps readers form detailed mental pictures. Her book has the potential to become a wholesome family film. Brooks refers to Moseley’s life as unbelievable and inspiring. The readers of her amazing book will certainly agree.” – Linda Wiegenfeld

Faith and prayer were the constants in Miller’s life.
