The Alger Hiss Communist Spy Trial

By Karen Alonso

Two men stood before the nation and made accusations that would capture America's attention. One man, Whittaker Chambers was an admitted ex-Communist spy. He claimed the other man, Alger Hiss, had also been a Communist spy. Hiss, a well-respected man who had worked for the United States government, claimed that Chambers was a liar. The author outlines this fascinating case that became a symbol of the Cold War struggles between the United States and the Soviet Union.
