Sleeper Agent: The Atomic Spy in America Who Got Away

A taut, revelatory WWII history of espionage and suspense with an enigmatic, yet indelible spy at its center. American-born George Kovacs, recruited by Soviet Intelligence, drafted into the U.S Army and assigned to the Manhattan project, is the undetected spy you've likely never heard of. In true John le Carré fashion, Ann Hagedorn unpacks the twists and turns of this extraordinary odyssey evoking the tensions of Jewish life in 1930s Soviet Russia and Depression-era Iowa, New York City at the height the war, and the international tensions of a world racing to build the atomic bomb.
