	Whittaker Chambers:Letter to My Children
		Much more than Alger Hiss or Whittaker Chambers was on trial in the trials of Alger Hiss.
		Some find it tragic that Whittaker Chambers, of his own will, gave up a $30,000-a-year job and a secure future to haunt for the rest of his days the ruins of his life.
		Chambers, what does it mean to be a Communist?" I hesitated for a moment, trying to find the simplest, most direct way to convey the heart of this complex experience to men and women to whom the very fact of the experience was all but incomprehensible.

	Book Review: Witness by Whittaker Chambers
		Chambers writes that Stalin was not just an aberration in an otherwise idealistic society but the `supremely logical representation' of Communism.
		Chambers understood it: "their power, whose nature baffles the rest of the world, because in a large measure the rest of the world has lost that power, is the power to hold convictions and act on them.
		It survived as long as it did not only because of people's ability to deceive themselves, but also because of their their desire to be a part of some movement to do something, to escape from the blandness of rationalism and the bleakness of the unsatisfied and unchallenged soul.

		The inner turmoil of Whittaker Chambers is revealed to the world, leaving the reader without a shadow of a doubt as to his courage and greatness.
		Tanenhaus is at his most valuable recounting Chambers' post-Hiss-Case life, not covered in "Witness"; in fleshing out the HUAC cast like Nixon, Mundt and Hebert, putting their careers and ambitions into perspective; and in covering the seamier sides of Chambers' personal and family background in even greater detail than Chambers had.
		Chambers was a man who put his career and life on the line to expose a conspiracy, as he saw it, threatening the world and eating away this nation from within.
