Ethel Rosenberg: An American Tragedy

At the heart of it...this is a story of betrayal.

Ethel Rosenberg was betrayed by everyone in her life, from her family and husband to her government and country, and at the end of the day, despite all that she lost, she courageously stood firm in her beliefs and I deeply admire her for that.

Going into the book, I knew just a passing account of what happened, and found that the education I received in school about this story was severely lacking.

I would HIGHLY recommend reading this book. It's so important to understand history, and to realize the parallels to what is happening today in 2021, particularly with the lengths government officials will go to mislead and distract the public from the bigger picture and instead create a scapegoat, especially when a woman is involved.

The audiobook was very engaging, and I thought the narration from Orlagh Cassidy was very well done.
