Description

Deborah Friedell talks to Thomas Jones about the Rosenbergs, from their early years on the Lower East Side of New York to their executions for conspiracy to commit espionage in 1953, and the significance of their trial in American public life, not least as a platform for Donald Trump’s future lawyer, Roy Cohn.Read Deborah's piece on the Rosenbergs and more here: https://lrb.me/rosenbergspodSubscribe to the LRB from just £1 per issue: https://mylrb.co.uk/podcast20b
