Witness, a magnificent work involving political history, espionage, and the gentle soul of a kind man, Whitaker Chambers. Should be read by everyone who cares about how we got where we are today and why Chambers was such a pessimist about the future of Western Civilization.

I never forget that he said he felt like he was leaving the winning side to join the losing side, but that the losing side was the right side.

I have read two books by Whittaker Chambers:

One was Witness. The other was his translation of Felix Salten's novel Bambi.
