Description
In 1950, Italian-born nuclear physicist Bruno Pontecorvo defected to the Soviet Union. Was he a spy? Did he pass on sensitive information about the bomb to Soviet experts? Investigations at the time were inconclusive. This book draws on newly disclosed sources to challenge previous attempts to solve the case.
