"On March 6, 1951, Morton Sobell was brought to trial with Julius and Ethel Rosenberg charged with conspiracy to commit espionage. The three defendants were found guilty; the Rosenberg's were sentenced to death, and Martin Sobell to thirty years in prison. He served for eighteen years and five months - five of those years in Alcatraz. This is his story of trial and imprisonment. The Rosenberg-Sobell case has become one of the most famous and controversial trials in American history. Morton Sobell gives his own detailed account of what happened - from his kidnapping in Mexico in 1950 through the trial itself. That part alone makes 'On Doing Time' an important and absorbing document. But the book is also a unique, graphic picture of prison life in the Tombs, Atlanta, and in Alcatraz. It portrays an extremely intelligent man determined not to break; determined to keep his mind working, to continue fighting for his vindication. Finally, 'On Doing Time' is the story of a marriage, kept alive by Morton and Helen Sobell for those eighteen prison years by their devotion to each other. " --from the book jacket
