SYNOPSIS: Much has been written about the 1930s, Cambridge traitors, but Andrew Sinclair provides a fresh insight into their activities compared to those of the university's scientists at the same time. There were 'two cultures' and two traditions. At the Cavendish Laboratory the atom was split and later the genetic secrets of life were found; the scientists were changing the shape of the world and human society. They believed in the open exchange of research, even with Soviet Russia, until the explosion of the atomic bomb 'killed a beautiful subject', nuclear fission became classified information and Peter Kapitsa, Lord Rutherford's Russian assistant at the Cavendish Laboratory, was held in Moscow to prevent his return to Cambridge. The arts meanwhile had another tradition - rigorous, controlled, even clandestine - epitomized by the Apostles, that secret society which had such influence on economics, literature, politics and philosophy through the Bloomsbury group and Keynes, Russell and Wittgenstein. Andrew Sinclair contrasts the Cambridge ethos in the 1930s with that of the 1950s, when he himself was at Trinity before becoming a Founding Fellow of Churchill College. He uses the microcosm of the university since 1918 to examine the eventual clash of the 'two cultures' and to study the important changes which have altered our world, in particular in Intelligence - its discoveries, state of mind, organization and uses. At the time of the Suez Crisis, Andrew Sinclair went up to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took a Double First in History and wrote the famous Cambridge novel My Friend Judas. He was suggested as a member of the Apostles, but was not accepted: it was thought he would not keep the society's oath of secrecy. Sinclair returned to Cambridge to take his doctorate and become a Founding Fellow of Churchill College, where he was Director of Historical Studies. The Master of the College was Sir John Cockcroft, while C. P. Snow and Francis Crick were other Founding Fellows; most of the Nobel prize-winners in the sciences regularly visited the college. Andrew Sinclair has lived through the historical events he analyzes. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 001137
