On August 3, 1948, Chambers, a senior editor at [Time] magazine and self-admitted ex-communist, appeared before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) identifying Alger Hiss and several other federal officials as members of a Communist cell whose purpose had been to infiltrate the U.S. government. The accusations shocked a nation already entangled in the politics of the Cold War and set the stage for what was to become one of the most sensational American criminal trials of modern times. They talked about this trial as well as Chambers life, both outlined in his autobiography, [Witness]. Portions of a longer interview with Alger Hiss' son were also shown. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/170139-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/170139-1 Sun, 26 May 2002 00:00:00 GMT Following introductory remarks by Kramer and Buckley, Mr. Tanenhaus discussed his book, [Whittaker Chambers: A Biography] which traces the life of Chambers from communist spy, to accuser of Alger Hiss, to his role in the modern conservative movement.
