Witness FROM THE PUBLISHER
Witness has changed the lives of countless readers since it was first published in 1952. This 50th Anniversary Edition recounts Whittaker Chambers' early work with the Communist Party, his later renunciation of communism, and the astounding Hiss-Chambers spy trial in a book that packs the emotional wallop-and literary power-of a classic Russian novel.
FROM THE CRITICS
Hilton Kramer - The New Criterion
One of the few indispensable autobiographies ever written by an American — and one of the best written too... It deserves to be recognized as a first class achievement.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Witness is much more than a series of intrigues and trials... no psychological novel can excede it in interest. No study of concflicting characters under stress could go deeper with Chambers, or be more puzzling.... The book was not written as literature, but literature it is of a high order. — John P. Marquand
