Have you read Sam Tannenhaus' biography of Chambers? It is fascinating. Rand was a piker compared to Chambers.

Thanks for the suggestion.

There's so much about that case I want to read, but having lived thru that era, I can tell you the airwaves (and conversations) were filled with Chambers vs. Hiss arguments for years. The hatred for Chambers was amazing.

I shoud also read Chamber's autobiography, "Witness", and his letters to Buckley.

Yes, and Buckley's book about chambers, Red Hunter.(I think that's what it's called.)

Now, if you haven't read Chambers' book Witness, do so.

I read all of Rands books beginning with Atlas Shrugged in late 1964.
