were the rosenburg's innocent?

in the 1950's, a book was published entitled "From Major Jordan's Diary". An officer in charge of the lend lease program to Russia, Major Jordan declared that he had evidence that FDR had provided the materials from the Manhattan Project for making a bomb to the Soviet union via Lend Lease shipments. For decades Major Jordan was ridiculed. Also during the 1950's, the Rosenburgs were executed for giving away these same atomic secrets to the Soviets. For decades this has been held to be true. However, in the early 1980's one James Roosevelt, the son of FDR, wrote a book about the events surrounding the Yalta Conference involving his father, Churchill and Stalin. In the events of this book, which James was a witness to, he writes an engrossing account of the "family matter" between FDR and Stalin in the back channels of this historic conference, which not only support the claims of Major Jordan, but also exonerates the Rosenburgs and devestatingly rewrites the history of the entire Cold War.
