The world first heard of Klaus Fuchs, the head of theoretical
physics at the British Research Establishment at Harwell in
February 1950 when he appeared at the Old Bailey, accused of
passing secrets to the Soviet Union. For over sixty years
disinformation and lies surrounded the story of Klaus Fuchs as the
Governments of Britain, the United States and Russia all tried to
cover up the truth about his treachery. Piecing together the story
from archives in Britain, the United States, Russia and Germany,
The Spy Who Changed the World unravels the truth about Fuchs and
reveals for the first time his long career of espionage. It proves
that he played a pivotal role in Britain's bomb programme in the
race to keep up with the United States in the atomic age, and that
he revealed vital secrets about the atom bomb, as well as the
immensely destructive hydrogen bomb to the Soviet Government. It is
a dramatic tale of clandestine meetings, deadly secrets, family
entanglements and illicit love affairs, all set against the
tumultuous years from the rise of Hitler to the start of the Cold
War.
