Abstract

David Greenglass will be remembered forever as the atomic spy who betrayed his sister, Ethel Rosenberg, assured a guilty verdict in her (and her husband's) treason trial of 1951, and sealed the couple's fate: death in the electric chair on June 19, 1953. Rather than receive the death penalty for his role as a spy at Los Alamos during World War II, Greenglass was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. He served ten years and was released in November 1960.
