Why did the US intelligence services fail so spectacularly to know about the Soviet Union’s nuclear capabilities following World War II? As Vince Houghton, historian and curator of the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC, shows us, that disastrous failure came just a few years after the Manhattan Project’s intelligence team had penetrated the Third Reich and knew every detail of the Nazi’s plan for an atomic bomb. What changed and what went wrong?

Houghton’s delightful retelling of this fascinating case of American spy ineffectiveness in the then new field of scientific intelligence provides us with a new look at the early years of the Cold War. During that time, scientific intelligence quickly grew to become a significant portion of the CIA budget as it struggled to contend with the incredible advance in weapons and other scientific discoveries immediately after World War II. As Houghton shows, the abilities of the Soviet Union’s scientists, its research facilities and laboratories, and its educational system became a key consideration for the CIA in assessing the threat level of its most potent foe. Sadly, for the CIA, scientific intelligence was extremely difficult to do well. For when the Soviet Union detonated its first atomic bomb in 1949, no one in the American intelligence services saw it coming.

Book Description
================
Why did the US intelligence services fail so spectacularly to know about 
the Soviet Union's nuclear capabilities following World War II? As Vince 
Houghton, historian and curator of the International Spy Museum in Washington, 
DC, shows us, that disastrous failure came just a few years after the 
Manhattan Project's intelligence team had penetrated the Third Reich 
and knew every detail of the Nazi's plan for an atomic bomb. What changed 
and what went wrong?
Houghton's delightful retelling of this fascinating case of American 
spy ineffectiveness in the then new field of scientific intelligence 
provides us with a new look at the early years of the Cold War. During 
that time, scientific intelligence quickly grew to become a significant 
portion of the CIA budget as it struggled to contend with the incredible 
advance in weapons and other scientific discoveries immediately after 
World War II. As Houghton shows, the abilities of the Soviet Union's 
scientists, its research facilities and laboratories, and its educational 
system became a key consideration for the CIA in assessing the threat 
level of its most potent foe. Sadly, for the CIA, scientific intelligence 
was extremely difficult to do well. For when the Soviet Union detonated 
its first atomic bomb in 1949, no one in the American intelligence services 
saw it coming.
