Description

The codename "Trinity" refers to both the atomic bomb test in New Mexico and the story of Rudolf Peierls, Klaus Fuchs, and the security services. This book tells the extraordinary tale of how Peierls brought Fuchs into his family and laboratory, only to be betrayed. Against the backdrop of pre-war Nazi Germany, World War II, and the Cold War, Close reveals the science behind the spy's actions and the information he passed to Soviet contacts in the UK and at Los Alamos. He uncovers fresh evidence about the role of VENONA signals decryptions and how the net gradually closed around Fuchs, leading to his eventual capture. The book sheds new light on a pivotal moment in history, revealing the complex relationships between scientists, spies, and security services during this period.
