The American writer "E.L. Doctorow" (1931-2015) relied on the famous case in which the couple "Julius" and "Ethel Rosenberg" were accused of spying for the Soviet Union in 1951, which ended with their execution after two years. In this novel, we follow the events of the accusation and trial through the eyes of "Daniel", the eldest son of the two protagonists of the book "Paul" and "Rochelle", and we see the impact of these events on his life and his sister "Susan". Those impacts accompany them for the rest of their lives. The lives of the parents and the two kids are shattered. "The issue concerns them alone. This feeling of being orphaned erases everything but that feeling itself. It separates them from all others, and it will continue forever no matter how hard he tries to deny it." Doctorow also analyzes American society's fear of communism and the attempt to eradicate all forms of it before it spreads. The novel, which critics classified as a "semi-historical" work, was turned into a movie called "Daniel" in 1983.
