Description
8vo, ex library and binding First British Edition. 675 pages, VI, 634 pages, last four pages blank, foreword in the form of a letter to my children and index. This is the biography of the person who caused Alger Hiss to be indicted and convicted on a charge of perjury. The author joined the Communist Party in his youth, and after the spiritual disillusionment which caused him to break with the party, converted to Christianity and became a patriotic American. "The degree of sympathy felt by any reader for Chambers' interpretation of events will inevitably depend largely on the position already taken up by that reader."
