Vidkun Quisling: The Spy Who Betrayed Norway – The Original Traitor

Alexander Lawson traces Quisling’s rise from decorated soldier to despised war criminal, culminating in his dramatic 1945 trial and execution by firing squad at Akershus Fortress. This is the true story of ambition, ideology, and ultimate betrayal that still echoes today.

Julius & Ethel Rosenberg: Atomic Betrayal, the Electric Chair, and Cold War Justice

In this gripping episode of A True Crime Podcast, host Alexander Lawson dives deep into one of the most controversial espionage cases in American history — the conviction and execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Accused of passing atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union at the height of the Red Scare, the Rosenbergs became the only American civilians executed for espionage during peacetime. From their recruitment into a Soviet spy ring and the dramatic Manhattan Project leaks involving Ethel’s brother David Greenglass, to the sensational 1951 trial, the Jell-O box password, and the botched execution at Sing Sing Prison, this case shocked the world and sparked global protests. Was Julius a dedicated spy whose actions altered the course of the Cold War? How involved was Ethel? Decades later, declassified Venona files, recanted testimony, and new revelations paint a more complex picture of guilt, family loyalty, and justice under pressure. Alexander Lawson unpacks the evidence, the trial drama, the human cost to their young sons, and the enduring debates about McCarthyism, the death penalty, and whether fear trumped fairness.
