Scientists have always kept secrets. But rarely in history have scientific secrets been as vital as they were during World War II. In the midst of planning the Manhattan Project, the U.S. Office of Strategic Services created a secret offshoot, the Alsos Mission, which was meant to gather intelligence on and sabotage if necessary, scientific research by the Axis powers. What resulted was a plot worthy of the finest thriller, full of spies, sabotage, and murder. At its heart was the 'Lightning A' team, a group of intrepid soldiers, scientists, and spies, and even a famed baseball player, who were given almost free rein to get themselves embedded within the German scientific community to stop the most terrifying threat of the war: Hitler acquiring an atomic bomb of his very own. 610 20 $a Manhattan Project (U.S.) $x History. 610 10 $a United States. $b Alsos Mission $b Alsos Mission $x History. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Military intelligence $z United States. 650 0 $a Atomic bomb $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 610 27 $a Manhattan Project (U.S.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00635166 610 17 $a United States. $b Alsos Mission. $b Alsos Mission. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01853259 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 7 $a Atomic bomb. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00820568 650 7 $a Military intelligence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021270 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726208 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Sullivan, Ben, $e narrator. 941 $a 2 945 $a cdab 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710045253.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323031346.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1EFD1CE4CE1011E9A2D8154D97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
