Nice post. The nuances of Chambers and Hiss suffer from the deprivation of thought common in our culture. I have read "Witness," and though some of it might be self-serving, the Soviet archives have vindicated Chambers and completely discredited Hiss.

The focus of scholarship today should not be to promote one over the other. The Chambers win is without doubt in all but leftist circles. The challenge today is to measure the men in their times and evaluate what their struggle tells about America, ideology as inverted religion, and the world.
