The man whose testimony almost single-handedly convicted them was Ethel Rosenberg's own brother, David Greenglass, who recently died. Though the Rosenbergs were executed, Greenglass served a mere ten years in prison, after which, with a new name, he disappeared. But journalist Sam Roberts found Greenglass, and then managed to convince him to talk about everything that had happened. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSince the original publication of \u003ci\u003eThe Brother\u003c\/i\u003e, Roberts sued to release grand jury testimony, which further implicates Greenglass and demonstrates how the prosecution was tainted. One of the defendants, Morton Sobell, admitted to Roberts that he and Julius Rosenberg were spies. Furthermore, Michael and Robert Meeropol, the Rosenbergs' sons, acknowledged to Roberts that although their mother was not legally culpable, that the \"secret\" to the atomic bomb was not compromised, and that the death penalty was excessive, their father was, in fact, guilty of conspiracy to commit espionage on behalf of the Soviet Union. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow released with this important new information, \u003ci\u003eThe Brother\u003c\/i\u003e is more than ever, \"A gripping account of the most famous espionage case in US history...an excellent book, written with flair and alive with the agony of the age\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSam Roberts is urban affairs correspondent for \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times. \u003c\/i\u003eHe is the host of \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Close Up\u003c\/i\u003e, an hour-long weekly news and interview program on cable channel NY1 that he inaugurated in 1992.
