{"product_id":"9781780226620","title":"Ethel Rosenberg","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn 19th June 1953 Ethel Rosenberg became the first woman to be executed by the US government in almost a century, and the only woman in the US to be executed for a crime other than murder. She was 37 years old and the mother of 2 small children. Her case resonates more than ever today at a time of world tension and conspiracy rumours focused on a resurgent Soviet Union. Any battle to seek forgiveness for a convicted communist spy would, today, at a time when the Cold War seems all too resonant, stand little chance of success. But the story of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg refuses to die; this is an important moment to recount not simply what FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover called the 'trial of the century', but also a timeless human story of a supportive wife, loving mother and idealist who had her life barbarically cut short for a crime she almost certainly did not commit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weidenfeld \u0026 Nicolson","offers":[{"title":"Anne \/ Sebba","offer_id":40376988631105,"sku":"9781780226620","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1208\/4146\/products\/9781780226620_c4c3cf3b-40e7-4b7b-95ac-670215b89036.jpg?v=1676538666","url":"https:\/\/chepstowbooks.co.uk\/products\/9781780226620","provider":"Chepstow Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
