The bomb, part 2
Klaus Fuchs and Ursula Kuczynski stole information about the British atomic bomb project and gave them to Soviet Russia.
Summer 1941. Klaus Fuchs enters an unremarkable red-brick building in Birmingham, makes his way down a long grimy corridor, and pauses in front of double doors that bear the sign: TUBE ALLOYS. It is the codename for the British atomic bomb project. This is where the fate of the world is being decided.
As Fuchs works tirelessly on the British atomic bomb project, he is simultaneously slipping secrets to the Soviets, so that they can build their own bomb, playing an intrinsic role in both sides of the atomic race.
But Fuchs doesn鈥檛 work alone. He soon meets his new handler, a Soviet spymaster who just so happens to be presenter Rosa Ellis鈥� great-aunt, Ursula Kuczynski. Fuchs knows her only as Agent Sonya. Together, the pair of them are the most important spies on the planet.
Fuchs and Ursula have been given a list of twelve pieces of information that Russia urgently needs. But as the British nuclear project ramps up, trouble is brewing for Fuchs. Will his past get in the way of his mission?
