Will I love The Rosenberg File?

I like this book for its thoroughly researched narrative and unbiased conclusion. The authors did what historians worth their salt are required to do: follow the evidence. I consider this book my number one choice out of the dozens upon dozens written about the case over the past six-plus decades. Though dense (it’s over 600 pages long) I found it a real page-turner!

I delved into the details of the Rosenberg espionage prosecution when I was asked to join in a lawsuit against the federal government that sought to unseal the Rosenberg grand jury records. We won and the unsealed… show more.

For decades the myth that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, executed for atomic espionage in 1953 and the only American civilians given the death penalty for espionage, were innocent was a staple on the American left. Radosh and Milton, employing declassified government documents and digging up new evidence, conclusively demonstrated their guilt.
