Sabotage: The Mission to Destroy Hitler's Atomic Bomb is the story of a daring, near-impossible plan to stop Adolf Hitler from acquiring nuclear weapons. When America enters World War II, it doesn't take long for the military to figure out that it is a losing battle without some way to fight back. But Hitler has an atomic bomb; and if he can succeed in building a devastating arsenal, there will be no defense--and no time. What's more, he is close to achieving his goal. This book follows the team of American and British scientists who volunteer for Operation Foxhole--the code name for their top-secret mission.

Neal Bascomb vividly recounts the dramatic story of the Allied spy mission to destroy Hitler's atomic bomb. The only people who knew about the plot were a handful of scientists and spies, a few in the British government, and President Roosevelt. They faced one daunting obstacle: a Nazi spy ring that had infiltrated Britain's top-secret research laboratories. This is the most extraordinary untold story of World War II, a race against time—and sabotage from within--to halt Germany's progress in building an atomic bomb.

Did you know young physicists in the Manhattan Project had to stop a Nazi sabotage plot? That's what this exciting book is about. It tells the true story of Operation Paperclip, where American agents went deep into Germany to find and arrest Nazi scientists before they could do any more harm. They discovered that top German scientists like Werner Heisenberg and Kurt Diebner had been trying to steal uranium and plutonium from Allied-occupied factories. Neal Bascomb does an excellent job narrating this book that I couldn't stop listening to Sabotage, so much so that I listened to the whole thing in one night.

In 1943, with Allied victory not yet in sight, a small group of German scientists and engineers set out to turn the tide. They volunteered to secretly build an atomic bomb for Hitler's Third Reich. But on July 6, 1944, they were betrayed--and the mission was revealed as a hoax.
