She is not successful, however, in conveying Ethel's emotional anguish in Sing Sing, nor are we convinced of the reasons for Ethel's unwavering determination to go to her death, and leave her children orphans, rather than betray her principles.
Nason's well-researched fictional autobiography of convicted spy Ethel Rosenberg is written in the form of a prison journal kept by Rosenberg while she was awaiting execution.
As Ethel recalls her past--her desire to become a singer and actress, her radicalization in a shipping clerks' strike, her family and friends--she emerges as an ordinary but good woman struggling to make the world a better place, who is caught up in events beyond her control, and faces a horrifying fate with dignity.

 [No title]
Robert Weinberg's biography of Ethel Rosenberg, one of the first Bahá'ís in the United Kingdom and a key figure in the spread of the Bahá'í Faith in the West, is a timely addition to the literature on Bahá'í history.
Weinberg has used previously untapped archival sources, such as the diaries of Ethel Rosenberg herself and the minutes of meetings of the National Spiritual Assembly of the United Kingdom, to not only document the life of Rosenberg but to illuminate various events of early twentieth-century Bahá'í history with which she was associated.
Ethel Rosenberg provides the geographic and chronological focus for the book, but, in fact, from it we learn considerably more about her "times" than about her.

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were an American couple accused of conspiring to commit espionage for the Soviet Union in 1950.
The Rosenbergs, along with in- laws Ruth and David Greenglass, and a Philadelphia chemist Harry Gold, were accused by the government of trading off top-secret information about the atomic bomb between the years 1944 and 1945.
All five were tried, but the most damaging evidence in the case was brought against the Rosenbergs, which consisted of testimonies from Gold and the Greenglasses, along with sketches from the Greenglasses which they claimed were identical to the ones given to the Rosenbergs and Gold to give to the Soviet Union.

Ethel Rosenberg also grew up in the oppressive atmosphere of a traditional family, where no future was expected for the girls except work, marriage and work, and work and children, while her brothers were doted on, no matter what.
Despite Ethel Rosenberg's excellent academic record and her great singing and her acting (her high school year book predicted that Ethel would be come a Broadway star), there was no thought of Ethel doing anything but going to work for a low-wage job when she left high school.
What Ethel was guilty of is wanting to fight for more for working people and believing that her own fate was tied up with that struggle, and that giving her life was better than lying for the FBI and the rest of the US government.

 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.

Although the notes typed by Ethel apparently contained little that was relevant to the Soviet atomic bomb project, this was sufficient evidence for the grand jury to indict Ethel and enough for the jury to convict on the conspiracy to commit espionage charge.

 Julius and Ethel Rosenberg
Owing to the overheated political climate and frayed-nerve mindset of post-World War II America, a gulf widened between those who were convinced that a minimal amount of evidence was enough to convict the Rosenbergs, and those who believed the evidence was compromised, as presented by the prosecution.
While the Rosenbergs, especially Julius, were possibly duped into thinking they were helping to bolster an ally, they were nonetheless complicit in acts against the U.S. in a time of war.
Ethel was described by her brother as a “probationer” or “agent,” according to information provided by a sophisticated code-breaking device, known by its acronym VERONA.

The trial of the Rosenbergs, the only U.S. civilians ever executed for espionage, was one of the most notorious episodes of the cold war.
After a three-week trial, the Rosenbergs were convicted in March 1951 and sentenced to death.
True, the Espionage Act of 1917, under which the Rosenbergs were convicted, permitted execution for spying "in time of war." But you'd think it might count for something that during World War II, when the couple passed along their ill-gotten secrets, the Soviet Union was an ally.

 Government Views of The Rosenberg Spy Case
Part of the testimony that was used against Ethel Rosenberg was that she typed David's notes about the Manhattan Project [the Atomic Bomb] and that those notes were part of the information Julius Rosenberg later passed on to the Soviets.
Many historians have come to feel that while Ethel Rosenberg was aware of her husband's activities, she did not play a primary role in the espionage and that her activities did not rise to the level of the death penalty.
At the time of the trial a strong piece of evidence against Ethel Rosenberg was the testimony of her brother David Greenglass and his wife Ruth that she had typed up Greenglass' notes from Los Alamos.

Ilene Philipson has written an enlightening biography of Ethel Rosenberg drawing information not only from people who knew her from childhood through adulthood but also from the Rosenberg letters, government records, interviews with psychiatrists, and secondary sources.
Her aim is not to answer questions of whether Ethel R. was a subversive Communist spy who gave classified information to the Soviets, but rather to achieve a deeper understanding of Ethel Rosenberg herself, separate from the myths that surround her and even as a separate entity from her husband Julius.
Ethel Rosenberg's name is always joined with her husband's Julius.
