As long as humanity speaks of virtue and dreams of freedom, the life and writings of Whittaker Chambers will ennoble and inspire. - PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN

One of the dozen or so indispensable books of the century... - GEORGE F. 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.
