  • Waterlooville U3a Modern History Group 1 Project 2020
    WATERLOOVILLE U3A MODERN HISTORY GROUP 1 PROJECT 2020 Waterlooville U3A Modern History Group 1 Research Projects 2020 Introduction Prior to the restrictions brought about by Covid 19, our Modern History Group met fortnightly on a Thursday morning at the home of one of our members. Each session, members would take it in turn to bring a subject of historical interest to the table that they had researched. This would be presented to the group, followed by much lively discussion led by Ted Packer our Group Co-Ordinator Since March of course we have not been able to meet ‘round the table’ but from the beginning of August we resumed our sessions using Zoom. After some initial reservations and getting to grips with the technology, most of the group have come back together and our sessions have continued much as before. The aim of the group has always been, in keeping with the U3A ethos, to learn through our own research and endeavours and to enjoy sharing that knowledge with others in a friendly and enjoyable manner. When, through necessity, the Open Day was cancelled in October, the Group came up with the idea of sharing our collectively gained knowledge more widely by posting a precis of each of our research topics from 2020 on the WU3A website. As you will see, the subjects are varied and wide ranging and invoked much debate and discussion. We hope you enjoy reading what follows and that it may inspire you to find out more! Anna Leonowens (1831 – 1915) Anna Leonowens was born in 1831 to a military family in British India and later became a tutor to the King of Siam's children.

  • Manhattan Project Spies and Oak Ridge, Part 1 (As Published in the Oak Ridger’S Historically Speaking Column on December 1, 2014)
    Manhattan Project Spies and Oak Ridge, part 1 (As published in The Oak Ridger’s Historically Speaking column on December 1, 2014) This is the first in a series of four Historically Speaking columns on Manhattan Project spies with connections to Oak Ridge. For many years, I was not sure that any spies were actually in Oak Ridge. Bill Wilcox and I discussed this at length and he too was doubtful at that time. Even though some names were mentioned, evidence seemed lacking. However, of late, so much additional information has been declassified and made available to the public regarding those activities of some 65 – 70 years ago. Much more is now known regarding the detailed activities of those who passed sensitive classified information to the Russians during the Manhattan Project. We will look first at George Koval, next at Klaus Fuchs and finally at Al Slack. Recently there seems to be more and more information coming available about spies during the Manhattan Project. The Spy Who Stole The Urchin: George Koval’s Infiltration of the Manhattan Project by Owen N. Pagano, an Atomic Heritage Foundation intern, posted on the Atomic Heritage Foundation’s web site: http://www.atomicheritage.org/ is the most recent information I have seen about George Koval. Koval is the ONLY official Soviet spy known to have infiltrated the Manhattan Project and the early Cold War era developments. His deep penetration only came to light in the recent past after over 50 years of obscurity. Some of the most notable spies were: George Koval; Theodore “Ted” Hall who was never caught; David Greenglass; Ethel and Julius Rosenberg; Harry Gold; and Klaus Fuchs.

(Edith Segal, “Thirty Years: A Ballad for Morton Sobell”, 1959) Introduction This article investigates, for the first time, two decades of political activism by one woman, Helen Sobell. Using previously untapped archives, it reveals how she waged a relentless struggle on behalf of her husband, Morton Sobell. She guaranteed that he did not “languish here forgotten”. Sobell was sentenced in 1951 to thirty years imprisonment after being convicted with Julius and Ethel Rosenberg of conspiracy to commit espionage. This is a story, in part, about how their relationship unfolded through four prisons, eight Supreme Court appeals2 and nearly nineteen years of incarceration. It is also a story of harassment from the state, to which her FBI files abundantly attest. Ultimately, it is a story of political mobilization, stretching from the United States to Europe.
