Algier Hiss - The long-awaited memoir by one of the most controversial Americans of contemporary history. A leading younger member of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. Golden boy.

In 1948 he was accused by Whittaker Chambers, of having been not only a Communist, but of being a spy as well. The rest is history. This is Alger's story.
