'A heart-piercingly brilliant book about a woman whose personal
life put her in the cross-hairs of history' HADLEY FREEMAN 'Totally
riveting. I couldn't put it down' VICTORIA HISLOP 'Ethel sings out
for all women who have been misunderstood and wronged, and refuse
to bow down' NICHOLAS SHAKESPEARE 'A shocking tale of betrayal,
naivety, misogyny and judicial failure' SONIA PURNELL 'A historic
miscarriage of justice laid bare for our times' PHILIPPE SANDS
Ethel Rosenberg was a supportive wife, loving mother to two small
children and courageous idealist who grew up during the Depression
with aspirations to become an opera singer. On 19 June 1953 she
became the first woman in the US to be executed for a crime other
than murder. She was thirty-seven years old. Ethel's conviction for
conspiracy to commit espionage on behalf of the Soviet Union
followed what FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover called the 'trial of the
century' in Cold War America and is still controversial. Now, Anne
Sebba's masterly, meticulously researched and deeply moving
biography finally tells Ethel's true story - a life barbarically
cut short on the basis of tainted evidence for a crime she almost
certainly did not commit.
