WEINSTEIN, ALLEN Perjury, The Hiss-Chambers Case
New York Alfred A. Knopf, 1978 0394491769 / 9780394491769 First Edition Hard Cover
674 pages, 8 plates, cloth, dj, very good. 1st edition. From the publisher: Perjury is the monumental and long-awaited book that tells the full story of the Hiss-Chambers case. It is the book that brings new evidence to bear on the dramatic conflict of testimony between Alger Hiss and Whittaker Chambers, and on the devastating contest for credence that polarized American political opinion, rousing an almost religious partisanship, making real for millions the hitherto abstract Cold War, profoundly altering the texture and temper of American public life - and remaining a subject of controversy through three decades. It is the book whose author, the gifted young historian Allen Weinstein, began his investigations believing that Hiss had been unjustly convicted - only to conclude after five years of intensive research that Hiss had indeed been guilty of perjury. Its extraordinary historical and human detail is based on unprecedented documentation. Weinstein obtained access to tens of thousands of pages of formerly classified FBI, OSS, CIA, State Department, and Justice Department records. He was given unrestricted entry to the Hiss legal defense files. He interviewed almost every living key figure in the case, including former Soviet agents, Congressional 'Red hunters', and close friends and members of the Hiss and Chambers families - among them some forty men and women who had never spoken publicly about the case. The result is, first of all, the most concrete and fascinating account we have ever had of the case itself… The book provides the first completely factual account of Nixon's actual role in the case that brought him into national prominence - a role very different from the one he claimed in Six Crises.
