-Atomic bomb -History -World War, 1939-1945 -Science -Secret service -Soviet Union -Great Britain -Operation Freshman, 1942 -Espionage, Soviet -United States -Arms race In December of 1938, a chemist in a German laboratory made a shocking discovery: When placed next to radioactive material, a uranium atom split in two. That simple discovery launched a scientific race that spanned three continents. In Great Britain and the United States, Soviet spies worked their way into the scientific community;in Norway, a commando force slipped behind enemy lines to attack German heavy-water manufacturing;and deep in the desert, one brilliant group of scientists was hidden away at Los Alamos. This is the story of the plotting, risk-taking, deceit, and genius that created the world's most formidable weapon. This is the story of the atomic bomb.
