Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. When the three leaders of the victorious allies, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, met at Potsdam in July 1945, President Truman announced to Stalin that the US had a new and devastating weapon. Observers report that Stalin paid no attention to this remark. In fact, Stalin was well aware of the existence of the atomic bomb, and the Soviet Union was rapidly developing its own. Stalin owed his knowledge to the atomic scientist Dr Klaus Fuchs, who can lay claim to being the most successful spy in history. A refugee from Nazi Germany, entrusted with crucial work at the very heart of the British and American nuclear weapons project, Fuchs gave every piece of information he had to the KGB, the Russian intelligence agency. Then in 1950, his spy mission complete, he made an unprompted confession to MI6. His espionage accelerated the start of the Cold War between Russia and the West, and caused a split between the US and British governments that forced Britain to build its own atomic weapons. The world that Fuchs helped create remained in the grip of a nuclear stand off for a generation. The Spy Who Changed the World uses previously unseen archive documents to bring to life one of the most compelling spy stories on the twentieth century.

Cloth. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Hardcover. First Edition. The Spy Who Changed the World. Klaus Fuchs and the Secrets of the Nuclear Bomb. Tiny tear to top edge of front D/J. Controversy and lies surrounded the story of Klaus Fuchs. How brilliant a psysicist was he? How vital was his spying to the Russians? When did his career as a soviet agent begin, and how did he come to work in the most secret heart of the US and then the British nuclear weapons programme? Piecing together the story from archives in Britain, the United States, Russia and Germany, this book unravels the disinformation about Klaus Fuch and reveals his long career of espinage, showing how he also played a pivotal role for Britain as it raced to keep up with the United States. It is a dramatic tale of clandestine meetings, deadly secrets, family entanglements and illicit love affairs, all set against the tumultous years from the rise of Hitler to the start of the Cold War. The story ends with MI5's failed attempts to trap Fuchs, and shows why, after giving away the biggest secret in the world, he finally made a carefully calculated confession.
