Bombshell : The Secret Story of America's Unknown Atomic Spy Conspiracy
Recruited into the super-secret Manhattan Project while still a teenager, albeit  a teenager who had already passed through Harvard, Ted Hall was unquestionably  brilliant. But Hall, now an elderly physicist living in England, claims he was also very  naive. While working to develop the atomic bomb for the United States, Hall approached  Soviet intelligence and proceeded to pass along secrets. His breaches of security, while  unknown outside intelligence circles until recently, dwarf the work of better-known Cold  War operatives. And what's perhaps most startling is his motivation for giving the  Soviets the secrets of the American bomb. Relying on recently declassified materials and  interviews with the participants in the plot,Bombshellreads like an inventive spy  novel, yet it's entirely true.
