The Hiss-Chambers controversy continues in new book!
ISI Books is pleased to announce the publication of Alger Hiss, Whittaker Chambers, and the Schism in the American Soul, edited by Patrick Swan. This book anthologizes twenty-three of the best essays ever written on Chambers, Hiss, or both. Taken together, these essays by luminaries such as Leslie Fiedler, Arthur Koestler, Lionel Trilling, Rebecca West, Murray Kempton, and William F. Buckley Jr. tell the story of these two fascinating (and ultimately mysterious) men and of what they and their conflict represented. These pieces do not, as a rule, trouble themselves much with the facts of the case. Hiss's guilt was not so much in doubt then, and is certainly well documented by now. Rather, the essayists' divergent opinions on the nature of freedom and tyranny, conservatism and liberalism, the proper relationship between religion and politics, and many other issues remain fresh and provocative—perhaps even more so now than when they were written.
