The Pearl Harbor Conspiracy

De: J. G. Schwartz

Narrado por: Jill Cotu

Was Ethel Rosenberg executed for the wrong crime?

By early 1940, after almost a decade of planning and implementing stricter and more aggressive anti-Semitic laws, the "Final Solution", Hitler's plan to exterminate the Jewish people, is set in place. Ethel Rosenberg, along with other members of the Young Communist League, attempts to draw isolationist America into the European war to stop the genocide. Just prior to World War II, a plan is set in place to infiltrate the highest offices of the War Department.

The Pearl Harbor Conspiracy begins in the early 1920s and continues through the 1990s. It is full of intrigue with numerous plot twists, including blackmail and murder. The novel is a harrowing tale of female resistance and camaraderie.

Great story, compelling narration

This book was listed under juvenile fiction, but I found it very engaging even for a person in their 40s. I hadn’t known much about Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, and was very interested in the facts that this story is built upon.
Schwartz’s ability to weave fact and fiction was wonderful – and the plot twists were so unexpected.
Cotu’s narration was great – I appreciated that she was able to give each character a distinct voice, and add emotional depth to an already compelling story.
