Sobre este item
New York: Viking, 2020. 1st edition. Boards in dust jacket. Light shelfwear. Remainder mark. Very Good. 400 pp. [+ xvi pp b/w photos]. Notes, biblio., index. The gripping biography of a notorious Cold War villain--the German-born British scientist who handed the Soviets top-secret American plans for the plutonium bomb--showing a man torn between conventional loyalties and a sense of obligation to a greater good. With thrilling detail from never-before-seen sources, Atomic Spy travels across the Germany of an ascendant Nazi party; the British university classroom of Max Born; a British internment camp in Canada; the secret laboratories of Los Alamos; and Eastern Germany at the height of the Cold War. Atomic Spy shows the real Klaus Fuchs--who he was, what he did, why he did it, and how he was caught. His extraordinary life is a cautionary tale about the ambiguity of morality and loyalty, as pertinent today as in the 1940s. 'Enthralling and riveting' wrote The New York Times Book Review.
