| | Amazon.fr : Ethel Rosenberg: Beyond the Myths: Livres en anglais: Ilene J. Philipson (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The Ethel Rosenberg we meet is a rebellious actress-singer turned Communist, later a dowdy, neurotic housewife who wore "cheap, shapeless house dresses," made her sons dependent on her through overpermissiveness and never disagreed with her husband on anything of consequence. |
 | | David Greenglass, Ethel's brother, who helped send her to the electric chair, was "foolish, trusting, and childlike." Philipson overwrites and makes snap judgments, but her psychobiography is unusually intimate. |
 | | Noting that a biographical study of Ethel Rosenberg is difficult because she left neither "works nor a career," Philipson demonstrates that Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were two people "with vastly different personalities who cannot be understood as equivalent." In the process, Ethel emerges as a complex figure. |
