This 495 page book tells the story of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg who were electrocuted for stealing the secret of the atomic bomb and passing it to Stalin's Russia. It is more than a summary of the trial and appellate record; it is also a gripping human drama about two people and the law. "'The Implosion Conspiracy' does not address itself to the guilt or innocence of the Rosenbergs. Instead, a very legal question is raised: Was there sufficient evidence for the jury to find the Rosenbergs guilty. Nizer says yes. The hero in this book is not Julius or Ethel, but their attorney and justly so. Emanuel Bloch trial counsel for Julius and Ethel devoted himself completely to the cause of his clients. His was a devotion as personal as it was professional. When, despite his ceaseless efforts his clients died, part of him died as well. Six months later, harassed and exhausted, Bloch suffered a heart attack and died. As Nizer put it 'He died in the service of his clients.' Emanuel Bloch did his profession proud."
