The spy who changed history. And a great-aunt's double life. In season one of The Bomb, we met the scientist who might have stopped the atomic bomb from ever being built. In season two, we meet the man who stole it. Klaus Fuchs was a brilliant young physicist, and the world’s most dangerous spy. Rosa Ellis finds out how he crossed paths with her great-aunt, and how their partnership changed the course of history.
