The Secret Mission of Klaus Fuchs

Klaus Fuchs, a German nuclear physicist, is engaged in the Manhattan Project, where he aims to develop the atomic bomb. Although he is considered an asset to the American effort to end World War II, Fuchs secretly plans to smuggle the bomb's blueprints to the Soviet Union. He believes that no single state should monopolize such devastating power and is motivated by ideological principles as well as a desire to curb nuclear proliferation. The risks associated with his espionage are immense, as failure could result in dire consequences, including a death sentence.
