By hitting sixteen-year-old Ursula Kuczynski with a truncheon at a demonstration, a Berlin policeman unknowingly determined her fate. The girl from an educated Jewish family, whose father and brother professed leftist views, became a staunch supporter of communism and twenty years engaged in espionage for the Soviet Union. Agent Sonia received her baptism of fire in Shanghai at Richard Sorge, went through intelligence school in Moscow, almost took part in an assassination attempt on Hitler, collected radio transmitters, during World War II transferred to the USSR atomic secrets obtained from the scientist-intelligence Klaus Fuchs, and never failed the task. Sociable and cheerful, she fell in love and raised children, took care of her parents - and did not give sluggish detectives from MI-5 reason to suspect her of a double life. The fate of Ursula Kuczynski-Hamburger-Burton is an amazing example of how one can remain true to one's views without betraying or being betrayed, in a world engulfed by catastrophe, where black and white change places or merge into one. Perhaps her secret lies in her ability to love and change without changing herself.
