Description: Witness by Whittaker Chambers Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description First published in 1952, Witness was at once a literary effort, a philosophical treatise, and a bestseller. Whittaker Chambers had just participated in Americas trial of the century in which Chambers claimed that Alger Hiss, a full-standing member of the political establishment, was a spy for the Soviet Union. This poetic autobiography recounts the famous case, but also reveals much more. Chambers worldview--e.g. "man without mysticism is a monster"--went on to help make political conservatism a national force. Author Biography Jay Vivian Chambers (1901 –1961), known as Whittaker Chambers, was an American editor who denounced his Communist spying and became respected by the American Conservative movement during the 1950s.After early years as a Communist Party member and Soviet spy, he defected from communism (underground and open party) and worked at Time magazine. Under subpoena in 1948, he testified in what became Alger Hisss espionage trials and he became an outspoken anti-communist (all described in Witness). Afterwards, he worked briefly as a senior editor at National Review . President Ronald Reagan awarded him the Medal of Freedom posthumously in 198 Details ISBN 162157296X ISBN-13 9781621572961 Title Witness Author Whittaker Chambers Format Paperback Year 2014 Pages 718 Publisher Regnery Publishing Inc GE_Item_ID:144725696; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
