Good book on controversial case

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

The Rosenberg case was a travesty of justice. The truth: Julius was a low level Soviet spy, Ethel probably had no involvement. The prosecution case was based on a mountain of perjury. The Rosenbergs didn't give Russia "the secret" of the atomic bomb: scientists including Klaus Fuchs did. These people did not deserve the death penalty, whereas some later spies like Aldrich Ames clearly did.

The Rosenberg File (2nd edition) by Ronald Radosh and Joyce Milton is a gargantuan piece of superb literary research. The authors take the reader into the dark world of Soviet espionage within the latter part of the decade preceding the war, during the war, and shorlty thereafter.

The ideological sympathies portrayed by many Americans towards Soviet Russia during this time period is no secret, but many took their ideals and sympathies too far! The Rosenbergs, and their accomplices were prime examples of those individuals.

The book reads like an ongoing novel, but...this novel is true. The authors do a magnificent job in laying out each "player" in this "Great Amercian Tragedy." The reader is allowed a glimpse into the formative years of each personality which ultimately enhances the events and story line as it starts to unravel. The crumbling "house of cards" follows the arrest and incarceration of Dr. Klaus Fuchs (who should have been extradited from England and stood trial along with the Rosenbergs!)

The authors present enough recent information (i.e.; FBI files, Venona Intercepts, KGB archives, and publications) to confirm (without a doubt), that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were guilty as charged.

The court room testimony, and drama revealed in the book is as unique, and moving as anything one could ever find within the Nuremberg trials.

The only criticism I would mention is that a book of this size (616 pages including notes and index section) should have had numerous photo plates. In addition, a little more information (if there is any) on Ruth Greenglass would have been appreciated. After all, a woman with the code name of "OSA" (Wasp) deserves a little more study and explanation. Did her Soviet handlers know her better than her husband?

The Rosenberg File (second edition) is actually a "6-Star" book with a 5 star rating.

Good Read

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2013

I am mostly through reading this book. it is informative and it allowed me to know more about the Rosenberg case. However, I cannot help to believe, that the FBI and the DOJ, allowed the bigger fish to escape. I just get the feeling that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were the back benchers of the Soviet spy ring. I am probably wrong but that is the way I see it. I especially like the account of one of the bigger spies who had escaped to the USSR. However, with the fall of the USSR, came back to America just in time to vote in the 1992 election. Ain't justice grand? Do read this book and make up your own mind.

A real slice of US history

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2011

Verified Purchase

This book would appeal to anyone who has had an interest in how atomic secrets were leaked from the US. It is VERY detailed; if you simply want a quick read, this is not the book to choose. However, it is well-written, with an updated addendum at the end containing previously unrleased details about the case. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys 20th century US history.
