Posted by admin in Biography & Autobiography on 06 19th, 2008 | no responses
Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were electrocuted by the U. S. government in 1953, convicted of the charge of conveying atomic secrets to the Russians. Their younger son, who was 6 when they died, has spent his life arguing for his parents' innocence and rehabilitation--a life that has included civil rights, anti-war, and anti-death penalty activism. In this memoir, he also voices his worries about the direction America is taking in the aftermath of 9/11.
