Wesley Gurion Meets the Rosenbergs

This year, 2013, marks sixty years since Julius and Ethyl Rosenberg, an unremarkable and even frumpy married couple, were put to death in Sing Sing Prison’s infamous electric chair. The crime? Treason against the United States of America. They had been arrested two years earlier and charged with no less than giving the Russians the secrets of the atom bomb during the Second World War. Was this possible? Did these two unassuming locals of New York City’s Lower East Side, have the access and means to do that? And more, was it even possible to steal “the secret” of the atom bomb? These questions intrigued Wesley Gurion enough to look into the matter and deliver a report in his unique inimitable style. “Wesley Gurion Meets the Rosenbergs” mixes fantasy with insightful reporting as this decades old American tragedy gets the Gurion treatment. Rated “M” for “must read.”
