1953159p. 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.

I saggi contenuti in questo volume analizzano l’evoluzione del rapporto triangolare Stati Uniti-Europa occidentale-Unione Sovietica. Dagli anni della prima distensione, la cooperazione tra Stati Uniti e Unione Sovietica è divenuta una condizione perché i rapporti atlantici siano armonici. Nel periodo della guerra fredda, invece, la contrapposizione degli Stati Uniti nei confronti dell’Unione Sovietica - in Europa come nel terzo mondo - era tutt’uno con la contestazione europeo-occidentale della divisione del continente. Gli interessi globali degli Stati Uniti e quelli regionali dei loro alleati europei si sono, tuttavia, trovati in forte contrasto quando il prolungarsi nel terzo mondo della rivalità tra le superpotenze ha rallentato il processo di normalizzazione dei rapporti sul continente europeo iniziato con la prima distensione. I saggi di questo volume guardano a quella fase critica, aperta dalla crisi afghana, per definire meglio le interdipendenze tra i rapporti atlantici e quelli Est-Ovest.
