In August 1948, a man stood before the House Un-American Activities Committee and uttered words that would forever change America: "Alger Hiss was a Communist and may still be one." With this declaration, Whittaker Chambers ignited what would become known as "the trial of the century." The accusation was explosive-Hiss was a respected State Department official who had helped organize the United Nations. The ensuing drama captivated the nation, divided families, and exposed hidden Communist infiltration within the American government. But behind this political earthquake was a deeply personal story-one man's journey from revolutionary to reluctant informer, and the moral struggle that would define his life. What makes someone abandon their ideological home, betray former comrades, and stand alone against overwhelming social pressure? This is the heart of "Witness," Chambers' profound spiritual autobiography that Ronald Reagan would later credit with his own political awakening.
