Dave Lindorff’s film, A Compassionate Spy, explains much of why the world is facing an abysmal situation today.
Toward the end of World War Two, the U.S. leadership had plans to use their newly developed atomic weapon not against Nazi Germany or Japan, but rather primarily to destroy the Soviet Union. A new documentary film, A Compassionate Spy, tells how that abomination against world peace was prevented.
In this interview, award-winning journalist Dave Lindorff who co-produced the movie reveals the background and nerve-racking details of this little-known spy story.
A young American physicist named Ted Hall prevented the treachery of the U.S. against its supposed WWII ally by giving the Soviet Union the top-secret plans to build the bomb. Hall was working on the Manhattan Project. By giving the Soviets the atomic weapon secrets, Ted Hall reckoned that nuclear parity would prevent a preemptive attack by the United States on Russia.
