Since the first use of a nuclear weapon in Hiroshima 71 years ago, on Aug. 6, 1945, the story of where the uranium for the bomb came from and the covert operation the U.S. employed to secure it has been little known.
That is until the publication next week in the United States of a new book, Spies in the Congo, by British researcher Susan Williams (Public Affairs Books, New York), which unveils for the first time the detailed story of the deep cover race between the Americans and the Nazis to get their hands on the deadliest metal on earth.
DYI Comment: World War II history buffs (myself included) will see this as a must read. Shows us all how far global World War II really was. Just as one thought there wasn't anything more to know about WWII "Spies in the Congo" comes along detailing where the U.S. obtained its enriched uranium.
