Whittaker Chambers

#1 New York Times bestseller for 13 consecutive weeks!"As long as humanity speaks of virtue and dreams of freedom, the life and writings of Whittaker Chambers will ennoble and inspire." - PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN"One of the dozen or so indispensable books of the century..." - GEORGE F. WILL"Witness changed my worldview, my philosophical perceptions, and, without exaggeration, my life." - ROBERT D. NOVAK, from his Foreward"Chambers has written one of the really significant American autobiographies. When some future Plutarch writes his American Live, he will find in Chambers penetrating and terrible insights into America in the early twentieth century." - ARTHUR SCHLESINGER JR."Chambers had a gift for language....to call Chambers an activist or Witness a political event is to say Dostoevsky was a criminologist or Crime and Punishment a morality tract." - WASHINGTON POST"Chambers was not just the witness against Alger Hiss, but was also one of th articulators of the modern conservative philosophy, a philosophy that has something to do with restoring the spiritual values of politics." - SAM TANENHAUS, author of Whittaker Chambers"One of the few indispensable autobiographies ever written by an American - and one of the best written, too. " - HILTON KRAMER, The New CriterionFirst published in 1952, Witness is the true story of Soviet spies in America and the trial that captivated a nation. Part literary effort, part philosophical treatise, this intriguing autobiography recounts the famous Alger Hiss case and reveals much more. Chambers' worldview and his belief that "man without mysticism is a monster" went on to help make political conservatism a national force.Regnery History's Cold War Classics edition is the most comprehensive version of Witness ever published, featuring forewords collected from all previous editions, including discussions from luminaries William F. Buckley Jr., Robert D. Novak, Milton Hindus, and Alfred S. Regnery.

The collected letters provide a portrait of the leading figure in the 1948 public disclosures which led to the imprisonment of Alger Hiss

An autobiographical memoir, written just after Chambers confessed to his earlier affiliation with the Communist Party and testified against his former friend and comrade, Alger Hiss, in perhaps the most celebrated espionage trial of the century. 11 cassettes.

Gathers short stories, essays, articles and reviews by the controversial journalist, and includes his observations on Marx, Joyce, Kafka, Santayana, Ayn Rand, and Greta Garbo

A collection of writings by Whittaker Chambers who emerged as such a controversial figure when he testified in the Alger Hiss communist subversion/espionage case during the McCarthy House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) hearings. These writings address many other topics.;

In the notorious espionage case of the 1950s, former Communist agent Whittaker Chambers fingered high-level State Department employee Alger Hiss as a Soviet spy--for which Chambers was highly censured by the media. Based on this never-before-published collection of letters, Chambers now is awarded post-mortem accolades as an individual filled with courage and vision.

Witness by Whittaker Chambers 1969 Paperback

Complete collection of essays that Chambers wrote for the National Review. Includes a section entitled "Remembering Chambers" which contains articles about Chambers that appeared in the July 29, 1961 issue of National Review after his death.

"Can You Make Out Their Voices" derives from a news story in January 1931 about tenant farmers in Arkansas, who raided a local Red Cross office to feed themselves. Chambers picked up on a common fear of the moment, namely, that this event marked the beginning of further popular uprisings in the face of drought and depression. In his story, the farmers have in their midst a quiet, dignified man—a communist—who unites them so that they take food by gunpoint, opposing the town's top businessman (a local banker, no less—a typical fat cat).
