WILL   \"Witness changed my worldview, my philosophical perceptions, and, without exaggeration, my life.\" - ROBERT D. NOVAK, from his Foreward   \"Chambers has written one of the really significant American autobiographies. When some future Plutarch writes his American Live, he will find in Chambers penetrating and terrible insights into America in the early twentieth century.\"  - ARTHUR SCHLESINGER JR.   \"Chambers had a gift for language....to call Chambers an activist or Witness a political event is to say Dostoevsky was a criminologist or Crime and Punishment a morality tract.\" - WASHINGTON POST   \"Chambers was not just the witness against Alger Hiss, but was also one of th articulators of the modern conservative philosophy, a philosophy that has something to do with restoring the spiritual values of politics.\" - SAM TANENHAUS, author of Whittaker Chambers   \"One of the few indispensable autobiographies ever written by an American - and one of the best written, too.\" - HILTON KRAMER, The New Criterion    First published in 1952, Witness is the true story of Soviet spies in America and the trial that captivated a nation. Part literary effort, part philosophical treatise, this intriguing autobiography recounts the famous Alger Hiss case and reveals much more. Chambers' worldview and his belief that \"man without mysticism is a monster\" went on to help make political conservatism a national force.    Regnery History's Cold War Classics edition is the most comprehensive version of Witness ever published, featuring forewords collected from all previous editions, including discussions from luminaries William F. Buckley Jr., Robert D. Novak, Milton Hindus, and Alfred S. Regnery.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49506807972113,"sku":"CIN162157296XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49531343470865,"sku":"CIN162157296XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49605635866897,"sku":"GOR007535993","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51425605943569,"sku":"NIN9781621572961","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/162157296X.jpg?v=1751183078"},{"product_id":"witness-book-whittaker-chambers-9780895267894","title":"Witness","description":"First published in 1952, Witness was at once a literary effort, a philosophical treatise, and a bestseller.

First published in 1952, Witness came on the heels of America's trial of the century, in which Whittaker Chambers accused Alger Hiss, a full-standing member of the political establishment, of spying for the Soviet Union. In this penetrating philosophical memoir, Chambers recounts the famous case as well as his own experiences as a Communist agent in the United States, his later renunciation of Communism, and his conversion to Christianity. Chambers' worldview--man without mysticism is a monster--helped to make political conservatism a national force. Witness packs the emotional wallop and the literary power of a classic Russian novel and has gained Chambers recognition by critics on both sides of the spectrum as a truly gifted writer. Witness is part spiritual autobiography, part spy thriller, and part trial drama, told in a compellingly eloquent, deeply moving voice of Dostoyevskian power.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50373098438929,"sku":"CIN0895265710G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50913751630097,"sku":"CIN0895265710VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0895265710.jpg?v=1751012151"},{"product_id":"ghosts-on-the-roof-book-whittaker-chambers-9780895267658","title":"Ghosts on the Roof","description":"Whittaker Chambers is one of the most controversial figures in modern American history a former Communist spy who left the party, testified against Alger Hiss before the House Un-American Activities Committee, and wrote a classic autobiography, Witness.
