Ethel Rosenberg: An American Tragedy by Anne SebbaMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I received an ARC Kindle edition of this book from NetGalley.
A special note for Kindle users: This book has both notes in the back (numbers with no links within the text) as well as footnotes (numbers with links within the text) throughout the book. If you find using the links and/or searching the back for the notes troublesome, you may find that a paper copy of this book would be better. I usually prefer the paper copy in these cases as it is easier to flip back and forth between notes, footnotes, and where I am in the book. This had no bearing on my rating; it is simply a personal preference.
The start of the this book was somewhat confusing in how the background was presented. The first couple of chapters and the last chapter are all over the place with the time lines and stories presented. While facts are presented throughout the book, there is just as much speculation; the phrases "may have," "likely," and "probably" appear frequently.
While there were some interesting facts in this book, it was presented slow paced. Overall the book was insightful, just not a page turner.
