This article discusses "Was Justice Done? The Rosenberg-SobeII Case," by Malcolm P. Sharp. This book, by a trained lawyer and professor of the Law School of the University of Chicago, presents the most cogent argument that has yet appeared for the view that the Rosenbergs were innocent of the crime charged. Though it is obvious that his feelings are deeply engaged, the reader will have no doubt that they derive primarily from his concern for the integrity of justice in the United States. The book is not pleasant reading, but Professor Sharp's clarity and honesty of treatment make the reading easy and absorbing.
