Reviews
"Bastard Brigade is as entertaining as it is fascinating. Kean's colloquial expressions and metaphors provide levity to the gritty history of a world at war, with the survival of freedom, and possibly humanity, hanging in the balance. He never lets the reader forget what was at stake. . .Kean's page-turner about a still too-little-understood chapter in history deserves a prominent place in WWII collections."-- Booklist, starred review, "An exciting history of the battle foratomic supremacy during World War II. . . Throughout, Kean eschews eruditefastidiousness for consistent action and brio. Beginning with the title, thenarrative is an engrossing cinematic drama. . . Vivid derring-do moves swiftlythrough a carefully constructed espionage thriller."-- Kirkus, "Science is made fun whenever best-selling author Kean...is narrating."-- Susannah Cahalan, New York Post, "Richly informative.... Once again, Kean proves his mettle as one of science literature's most gifted practitioners."-- Booklist, "Kean is one of America's smartest and most charming science writers, and his new book could be perfect for summer readers who prefer some substance with their fun."-- Michael Schaub, National Public Radio, "An exciting read for fans of World War II history, espionage tales, and the development of nuclear weapons."-- Library Journal, starred review, "A science journalist with a flair for words...[Kean's] language is fluid and accessible, even for the science-challenged."-- Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal, "A thrilling tale ofwartime derring-do meets a richly researched story of postwar intellectualexploitation . . . . Perfect as a first foray into this period, and I defy anyreader not to be drawn into the world of unlikely spies and Nazi Nobel Prizewinners that Kean paints so vividly and infuses with such energy."-- Science, "Kean's real knack is for digging up strange details most textbooks leave out....More than an assortment of trivia, the book is an engaging history."-- Allison Bohac, Science News, "Compelling stuff, written with verve and in a style that veers between simple lightheartedness and open jocularity.... Eminently accessible and enjoyable."-- Robin McKie, The Guardian, Riveting.... Kean has a knack for distilling chemistry to its essential elements, using stories and humor.... this is a dose of fresh air.-- Library Journal|9780316381680|

Synopsis
From New York Times bestselling author Sam Kean comes the gripping, untold story of a renegade group of scientists and spies determined to keep Adolf Hitler from obtaining the ultimate prize: a nuclear bomb. Scientists have always kept secrets. But rarely have the secrets been as vital as they were during World War II. In the middle of building an atomic bomb, the leaders of the Manhattan Project were alarmed to learn that Nazi Germany was far outpacing the Allies in nuclear weapons research. Hitler, with just a few pounds of uranium, would have the capability to reverse the entire D-Day operation and conquer Europe. So they assembled a rough and motley crew of geniuses -- dubbed the Alsos Mission -- and sent them careening into Axis territory to spy on, sabotage, and even assassinate members of Nazi Germany's feared Uranium Club. The details of the mission rival the finest spy thriller, but what makes this story sing is the incredible cast of characters -- both heroes and rogues alike -- including: Moe Berg , the major league catcher who abandoned the game for a career as a multilingual international spy; the strangest fellow to ever play professional baseball. Werner Heisenberg , the Nobel Prize-winning physicist credited as the discoverer of quantum mechanics; a key contributor to the Nazi's atomic bomb project and the primary target of the Alsos mission. Colonel Boris Pash , a high school science teacher and veteran of the Russian Revolution who fled the Soviet Union with a deep disdain for Communists and who later led the Alsos mission. Joe Kennedy Jr. , the charismatic, thrill-seeking older brother of JFK whose need for adventure led him to volunteer for the most dangerous missions the Navy had to offer. Samuel Goudsmit, a washed-up physics prodigy who spent his life hunting Nazi scientists -- and his parents, who had been swept into a concentration camp -- across the globe. Irène and Frederic Joliot-Curie , a physics Nobel-Prize winning power couple who used their unassuming status as scientists to become active members of the resistance. Thrust into the dark world of international espionage, these scientists and soldiers played a vital and largely untold role in turning back one of the darkest tides in human history., From New York Times bestselling author Sam Kean comes the gripping, untold story of a renegade group of scientists and spies determined to keep Adolf Hitler from obtaining the ultimate prize: a nuclear bomb Scientists have always kept secrets.
