There he was recruited by the Soviet Army as a spy and returned to the US in 1940. At Columbia University Koval knew scientists soon to join the Manhattan Project, America's atom bomb program; in the U.S. Army Koval used his scientific background and connections to secure an assignment at a site where plutonium and uranium were produced to fuel the atom bomb. There were hundreds of spies in the US during World War II but Koval was the only Soviet military spy with security clearances in the atomic-bomb project. Hagedorn tells the story of Koval, who in 2007 was posthumously awarded Russia's highest civilian honor for his contributions to the Soviet atomic bomb program. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54864 Koval Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.54864 Koval Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54864 Koval Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54864 Koval Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54864 Koval Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList
