I never forget that he said he felt like he was leaving the winning side to join the losing side, but that the losing side was the right side.
One was Witness. The other was his translation of Felix Salten's novel Bambi.
Interesting account. I remember going from Witness to The Venona Papers. Very dense accounting by two excellent researchers. They had everybody dead to rights but said nothing because they didn’t want to reveal the existence of their program.
However, I had apparently strayed off the reservation in including such research. The Rosenbergs were supposed to be portrayed as victims of "McCarthyism." I was paid for my manuscript, but when the book was published, instead of my article, there was another that used Communist publications as sources.
Shortly afterwards, the government released the Venona documents, which proved that the Rosenbergs were, indeed, Soviet spies. Much later, Alexander Feklisov, their Soviet case officer published his own memoirs adding even more details about their treason.
Thanks for the comments.. and prayers for a favorable election.
