Theodore Hall was an 18-year-old Harvard senior when, in 1944, he was recruited to join the Manhattan Project. As a member of J. Robert Oppenheimer’s team, he studied the physical properties of Uranium-235, the material used for the first atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima, and worked on the implosion bomb used against Nagasaki. He was, by all accounts, an immensely talented physicist.

Joan isn’t shy about her socialist activism and adoration of the valiant and commendable Soviets; she even talks about teaching Russian in later life out of a feeling of kinship with her Russian ancestors.
“exhilarating” but was horrified by his colleagues’ celebrations, and who allegedly didn’t lie and yet perpetrated one of the biggest deceptions in his nation’s history.has little interest in a multifaceted portrait of Hall. In large part, this is due to its focus on Joan, who expresses admiration for Russia , a romantic yearning to flee to that country, and a bitter disgust for America and the “bastards” who dared censure Hall once his secret became public.
