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. sAM tANENHAUS Sam Tanenhaus is the editor of the New York Times Book Review and former contributing editor at Vanity Fair. He is the author of Literature Unbound: A Guide for the Common Reader and has had articles and essays published in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The American Scholar and Commentary, among many others. His 2003 Vanity Fair profile of Paul Wolfowitz included the admission that weapons of mass destruction were a bureaucratic pretext for the war in Iraq, causing an international sensation.
