What is it about?
Using all available primary and secondary sources, this article makes the case that the testimony of the chief prosecution witnesses against Julius and Ethel Rosenberg was in many crucial aspects, false. The contradictions between what the Greenglasses said at the Rosenberg trial and evidence from Grand Jury testimony, US government archives and some incompletely released Soviet sources are developed in detail with extensive footnotes.

Why is it important?
The historical importance of the Rosenberg Case is obvious -- needs no argument to make that point.
Perspectives
It took over three years of research and writing to put this article together. I am Julius and Ethel Rosenberg's older son so I have a personal stake in the conclusions I draw. This has led me to be meticulous in my utilization of sources.
