Fineberg, Dr. S. Andhil.
THE ROSENBERG CASE. Fact and Fiction.
159p. 8vo. Original full cloth binding, lettered in gold. Binding slightly soiled. Original dust jacket, slightly soiled. Price clipped. Hardbound. First Edition. In 1950, the FBI arrested Julius Rosenberg (1918-1953), an electrical engineer who had worked for the U.S. Army Signal Corps, and his wife Ethel (1916-1953). They were indicted for conspiracy to transmit classified military information to the Soviet Union about the making of the Atomic Bomb. Both Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were found guilty (1951) and received the death sentence; Morton Sobell, a codefendant, received a 30-year prison term, as did Harry Gold; and David Greenglass was later sentenced to 15 years imprisonment. Despite many court appeals and pleas for executive clemency, the Rosenbergs were executed on June 19, 1953. They became the first U.S. civilians to suffer the death penalty in an espionage trial. The case aroused much controversy. Many claimed that the political climate made a fair trial impossible and that the only seriously incriminating evidence had come from a confessed spy; others questioned the value of the information transmitted to the Soviet Union and argued that the death penalty was too severe.

Guided Missiles, Cold War
Cold War Guided Missiles Electronics and Radar U.S. Air Force Manual Archive
1951. Cold War-era U.S. Air Force manual archive on guided missiles electronics and radar circuitry. Three original U.S. Air Force manuals manuals dating from 1951-1959 each documenting the highly specialized training in missile guidance systems electronics and radar operations that defined early U.S. military strategy in the nuclear and jet age. Issued between 1951 and 1959 these manuals were produced by the Department of the Air Force and the Air Training Command as formal instructional texts for servicemen developing cutting-edge aeronautical and defense technologies in the post-WWII period. Together they reflect the scientific and tactical innovations that transformed the Air Force into a technologically dominant branch of American military power.<br /> <br /> 1 The first manual Guided Missiles Fundamentals ATC Manual 52-12 August 1955 was issued from Scott Air Force Base and intended to train AFSC 31150 Guidance System Mechanics and AFSC 31250 Control System Mechanics. “This manual is a reference and text for training students in the principles of pilotless aircraft†the foreword states designed for airmen expected to have “a fundamental knowledge of electronics.†The contents cover “aerodynamics propulsion instrumentation and electronic control and guidance systems†and the 560 pages trace an exhaustive technical curriculum across topics such as “The Story of Pilotless Aircraft†“Optics Involved in Pilotless Aircraft Operation†“Modulation of Carrier Waves†“Amplifier Units of Control Systems†“Terminal Guidance†“Pilotless Aircraft Instrumentation†and “Telemetering Methods Used in Pilotless Aircraft.†Early chapters also underscore the shift toward automated warfare: “It is now possible to destroy a city by just pushing a button that would launch a bomb-carrying pilotless aircraft. a new era has come into being.â€<br /> <br /> 2 The second manual Fundamentals of Electronics AF Manual 101-8 originally July 1957 reprinted November 1959 was written for navigators and technicians requiring an in-depth understanding of radar electronics. “This manual develops electronic principles from those required in the analysis of simple DC circuits to those involved in complex radar circuits†and also provides a navigator “an electronics reference text that will enable him to use radar operating and maintenance instructions more intelligently.†With over 550 pages the manual includes chapters such as “Why Electronics for the Navigator†“Direct Current Motors†“Electron Emission and the Diode†“Microwave Oscillators†“Synchros and Servomechanisms†and “A Radar System.†As one early chapter notes “Radar was the most important scientific development in Air Force planning†and its role was seen as equivalent to the atomic bomb in postwar military transformation.<br /> <br /> 3 The final volume Radar Circuit Analysis AF Manual 52-8 30 June 1951 focuses specifically on the principles of radar offering a hybrid introduction to physics mathematics and military engineering. It “provides the graduate radar technician with reference material on fundamentals of electronics and. a basic coverage of the subject.†The manual analyzes radar principles from “mathematics for radar†and “vacuum tubes and power supplies†to “modulation and detection†“waveguides and cavity resonators†and “Selsyns and Servomechanisms.†A key section contextualizes the rapid development of radar technology: “Radar one of the great inventions emerging from World War II has many uses in aviation. Air-traffic controllers use radar equipment in some phases of air-traffic control operation. A greater use of radar equipment in aviation is planned for the future.â€<br /> <br /> This archive offers a rare and granular window into the scientific training of Cold War military personnel revealing how electronics guided missile theory and radar systems were codified into formal doctrine at a time when global military strategy shifted toward mechanized surveillance and nuclear deterrence. Very good condition overall. unknown
