The spellbinding story of Whittaker Chambers, the complex figure whose intriguing transformation from Communist agent in the 1930s to anti-Communist witness climaxed in 1948, when he testified against Alger Hiss in the spy case that shook and changed America.

With a cast that includes Richard Nixon as a young lawyer, Joseph McCarthy and many others, An Un-American Life is at once a vivid tapestry of twentieth-century history, a spectacular human drama and a political thriller of the highest order.

This exclusive edition contains a new introduction which brilliantly links the historical implications of the Chambers-Hiss case with the political reality in present-day America.
