Breakdown : How the Secret of the Atomic Bomb Was Stolen

Noted historian Richard Melzer (ERNIE PYLE & THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST) sheds new light on how security at Los Alamos broke down--not by examining this isolated site in New Mexico from the outside as many other authors have--but from within Los Alamos itself. Melzer shows that spies quite easily obtained security clearances, gained access to top secret information, & carried this information to their Soviet contacts without a hitch. College & university speaking tour, talk shows.Richard Melzer is the author of 'Breakdown : How the Secret of the Atomic Bomb Was Stolen', published 1999 under ISBN 9780865343047 and ISBN 0865343047.
