May 12, 1944 - 25 days before D-Day - President Franklin Roosevelt orders a special team to undertake a mission to Moscow to tell Joseph Stalin about America's capability to complete the development of the atom bomb. Based upon the personal journal of Beatrice Rapoport, one of the team's leaders. Excerpts: Sunday in Moscow July 9th 1944 - 11:15PM My Room - Spazzo House We know that now the going will get rough. Every effort will be made to get our documents - if they don't succeed they'll try to destroy us, papers, plane & all. Wish us luck, my friends. We'll need it. (Even here, the walls have eyes & ears & glib fingers!) Page 86 Tuesday - July 11th 1944. It's 2:18 A.M. It's hell in the air. We've been attacked and are waiting to find out when we bail-out. What next? I'm not afraid for myself - but you at home . . . . remember, it was worth the try. Love B
