Course Description
Instructor: Dan ZinsBased on the Rosenberg case, this brilliant, nuanced and necessary 1971 novel dramatizes the fateful decades after World War II by imagining what happens to two young children when their parents are arrested, tried, and executed for giving “the secret†of the atom bomb to the Soviet Union.
