Abstract

Years before anything was publicly disclosed about the nuclear espionage of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Klaus Fuchs, and Theodore Hall, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and U.S. Army Intelligence identified Clarence Hiskey, a Manhattan Project scientist, as a Soviet spy helping to provide highly sensitive nuclear weapons information. The two agencies kept watch on a Soviet intelligence officer, Arthur Adams, who was living illegally in the United States and serving as Hiskey's control officer. Despite an extensive investigation, neither Hiskey nor Adams was ever arrested. Although Adams was named in a sensational tabloid newspaper article shortly after the end of World War II and closely shadowed by the FBI, he was able to flee to the Soviet Union. Hiskey was never indicted for espionage. Based on material released from declassified Russian archives and FBI files made available under the Freedom of Information Act, the article tells the story of the first U.S.-based nuclear spy and how he got away with it.

美国第一位苏联核间谍:克拉伦斯-希斯基和亚瑟-亚当斯的传奇故事
早在朱利叶斯-罗森伯格和埃塞尔-罗森伯格、克劳斯-福克斯和西奥多-霍尔的核间谍活动被公开披露之前,美国联邦调查局(FBI)和美国陆军情报局就认定曼哈顿项目科学家克拉伦斯-希斯基是一名苏联间谍,帮助提供高度敏感的核武器情报。这两个机构一直在监视一名苏联情报官员亚瑟-亚当斯(Arthur Adams),他非法居住在美国,并担任希斯基的控制官员。尽管进行了广泛的调查,但希斯基和亚当斯均未被捕。尽管在二战结束后不久,亚当斯在一篇轰动一时的小报文章中被点名,并受到联邦调查局的密切关注,但他还是逃到了苏联。希斯基从未因间谍罪被起诉。这篇文章以俄罗斯解密档案和联邦调查局根据《信息自由法》提供的档案资料为基础,讲述了美国第一位核间谍的故事,以及他是如何逃脱惩罚的。
