Description
The true story of scientists and spies who sabotaged the Nazis' efforts to create an atomic bomb. Scientists have always had their secrets. But rarely did these secrets play such a significant role as during World War II. In the midst of developing the atomic bomb, the heads of the Manhattan Project received a disturbing report – that Nazi Germany was much further along in nuclear weapon research than the Allies. With just a few kilograms of uranium, Hitler could have turned the tide of the war and conquered Europe. A diverse team of geniuses known as Alsos, sent into enemy territory with the mission to spy, sabotage, and even eliminate members of the Nazi Uranium Club, will attempt to thwart these plans. Acclaimed author Sam Kean brings the true story of the heroes upon whose shoulders the fate of the entire war rested.
