Continuing our focus on historical scandal, this week I interview Robert Walsh about one of the biggest espionage scandals in American history. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of and executed for the crime of passing American secrets to the Soviets at the beginning of the Cold War. How did they get involved in such a dangerous mission? Were they both actually guilty? What was the reaction around the world to their deaths? Robert and Tom discuss all of that, and more.
