Sam Tanenhaus charts the spellbinding story of Whittaker Chambers (1901-1961), a complex figure whose intriguing transformation from Communist agent to anti-Communist witness climaxed in 1948, when he testified against Alger Hiss, a senior U.S. State Department official, in the controversial trial that shook and changed America. With a cast that includes Richard Nixon as a young lawyer, Senator Joseph McCarthy and many others, An Un-American Life: The Case of Whittaker Chambers is at once a vivid tapestry of twentieth century history, a spectacular human drama and a political thriller of the highest order.With a new introduction by the author, linking the historical implications of the Chambers-Hiss case with contemporary America.
