First published in 1952, Witness was at once a literary effort, a philosophical treatise & a bestseller. Whittaker Chambers had just participated in America's trial of the century, in which he 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.
