- Summary:
- Why, if Alger Hiss was guilty of espionage, did he invite close scrutiny of his life and career by devoting so much of his time to proving his innocence? And how, without producing any new evidence, was he able to convince many he was not a spy? This book examines his life in the light of the evidence of his complicity.
