Fifty years after their execution in June 1953 for conspiring
to steal atomic secrets, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg remain the
subjects of great emotional debate and acrimony. The man whose
testimony almost single-handedly convicted them was Ethel
Rosenberg’s own brother, David Greenglass. Though the Rosenbergs
were executed, Greenglass served a mere ten years in prison, after
which, with a new name, he disappeared. But journalist Sam
Roberts found Greenglass, and then managed to convince him to talk
about everything that had happened.
So here at last is the mesmerizing inside story of the Rosenberg
case: What were their lives like growing up on the Lower East Side?
How was David Greenglass enlisted in a plot to hand over to the
Soviets our greatest national secret? And how, finally, did the
whole thing unravel? Even beyond that, The Brother reveals how
David Greenglass perjured himself in testifying about his sister
and her husband—testimony that virtually strapped them into the
electric chair.
The Brother is a great narrative, far more mesmerizing than
anything else written on the subject. It is a story of espionage.
It is the story of a trial. And, most tragically, it is the story
of a family.
