The volume presents exceptionally well, boasting a firm, tight binding that remains entirely sound without any leaning or looseness. The text block is impressively crisp and bright, completely free from foxing or age-toning. The publisher's original boards remain clean and sharp at the corners, while the unclipped dust jacket exhibits only the most trivial hints of superficial shelf-wear to the extremities without any chipping or tears. A remarkably well-preserved example, completely unmarked internally, reflecting careful previous ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: A handsome true first edition, first printing.

Albright and Kunstel meticulously document how the eighteen-year-old Harvard prodigy stole plans for the atomic bomb and covertly handed them over to the Soviet Union, escaping justice and living quietly for decades. It is a compelling narrative of ideological conviction, betrayal, and the profound vulnerabilities within America’s most secretive wartime initiative.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55598420263251,"sku":"6494","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261021_122732.jpg?v=1792923560","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/bombshell-the-secret-story-of-americas-unknown-atomic-spy-conspiracy","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
