Ronald Radosh & Joyce Milton have written a superbly researched book about what some have called "The Crime of the Century". The case of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, convicted atomic bomb spies, divided the country when it was tried in the 1950s, and still divides it in many ways today. The authors have written a fair and evenhanded book that demolishes many of the myths that surround the case and offers material that both sides will find informative. The central argument they make is this: Yes, they were guilty, but they should not have been executed. It is a must read for anyone who wants to seriously study the subject.
