About This Item
NY: Oxford University Press, 2004. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 297 pages, 15 b&w photo illustrations. For decades, a great number of Americans saw Alger Hiss as an innocent victim of McCarthyism~a distinguished diplomat railroaded by an ambitious Richard Nixon. And even as the case against Hiss grew over time, his dignified demeanor helped create an aura of innocence that outshone the facts in many minds. Now G. Edward White deftly draws together the countless details of Hiss's life~from his upper middle~class childhood in Baltimore and his brilliant success at Harvard to his later career as a self~made martyr to McCarthyism~to paint a fascinating portrait of a man whose. life was devoted to perpetuating a lie. Clean copy. Record # 385241
