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.

In the original dustwrapper unclipped priced $3.50 on front flap rubbed and worn with some clear tape reinforcements to head and heel; just VG. A singular presentation copy of Massing's sensational memoir revealing her career as an NKVD recruiter in Washington beginning in the 1920s through the Great Depression and WW2. After the war Massing turned; her testimony against Alger Hiss in 1949 was a critical factor in his ultimate conviction. This copy inscribed to the prominent right-wing journalist commentator and political operative Ralph de Toledano and his wife Nora.
