so whittaker chambers was among things, a brilliant writer. but when he accused alger hiss publicly and, alger hiss called him out and threatened sue him for libel, at which point through a series of whittaker was able to come up with the actual docu events that alger hiss and priscilla hassid typed and had typed out. and with alger hiss his handwriting, those were instrumental in the trial that ultimately proved alger hiss was guilty of perjury. so what convinced you there were two things you mentioned of a venona papers. there were also the pumpkin papers. what is would convince you that alger hiss was a spy and not innocent man? he professed to be like a lot of people. i into writing this book with a lot questions to ask a lot of research to do. it took me over four years. i thought i a pretty good sense from alan weinstein's book perjury, which came out the seventies about the trial. alan weinstein had begun as great supporter of his. he thought investigation into the trial would prove that alger hiss in fact guilty and alan weinstein had

whittaker chambers was a favorite. whittaker chambers was a fascinating guy, who wrote a great book called "witness." if you read the first hundred pages of it, it is one of the greatest and most harrowing american autobiographies. it is about his childhood out on long island, with a crazy family and dysfunctional everything. whittaker chambers was a fascinating man who was a very good writer, he was a star. he was a communist, an actual communist agent. he was a fully active agent of the russian soviet communists. he was an apostate, he turned against the communists and in 1948, he revealed before the house on american activities committee that alger hiss, who was a very much esteemed member of the establishment, he was at that time head of the carnegie endowment. he was from baltimore, he had gone to johns hopkins. he had harvard law, i believe. had been in the state department and elsewhere in the federal government during the roosevelt administration. chambers had known hiss very well and revealed hiss, this parago

as whittaker chambers said, the essence of communism is not dialectical materialism.and the labor of value. and all of those other things. he said it's a vision, life on earth without god and and he said that it started in the garden of eden when the serpent said to the to to and eve ye shall be as gods. you shall develop your own moral standards, your own rules of life. you don't to listen to his. and so that's cold war right there at the beginning, the very i remember going my one of my first visits to moscow, i asked my kgb driver supplied to me by the u.s. embassy it was the only time i had a chance to go and visit a working russian orthodox church and it wasn't it wasn't going to have any time to do this. and so we went to about eight churches, all of which had been shut and had been turned. youth centers or museums of religion and atheism or let's means or swimming pools or warehouses or the other that they turned the churches into. and finally we found one. i went in there and there were the people they were both wing. they were crossing themselves. there was t

so this is where we get the story of the second defector, whittaker chambers chambers. so whittaker chambers was known to members of the house un-american activities committee in 1948 when bentley was testifying because he was a well-connected journalist on the right. he was known throughout washington as someone who was an admitted ex-communist. he said he had been a communist in the 1930s. he had realized how evil was and now he was working against communism. he had told many people that he knew secret communists in the u.s. government in the 1930s. so the house un-american activities committee called him after bentley's testimony, to ask him to tell his and essentially to affirm that what she said made sense. he had never met her, but he said, first of all, i think she's telling the truth because i too was a secret communist at this point. he doesn't say he was a spy. he says i was a secret communist. i knew secret communists in, the us government. so her story sounds plausible to me, that's all. he's asked to testify to at the beginning. is, is her story plausible o

believes the leaks are deliberate to attempt to so discord among keeps and eyes shuttles due to whittaker. as for the lake, it was certainly unpleasant to hear things like that. but i carefully reviewed information which was available publicly. there was a lot of information there which does not correspond with reality. so it's a mix of truth and untruths. therefore, i assume it was done deliberately. i call it a special information. psychological operation. still to hum this off. our charge is expected for government officials following a deadly fire at a mexican detention center and fighting an eastern democratic republic of congo is putting education on hold. the thousands of children and university students ah, of a 1st time since 2009, a category for equivalent storms brewed off the coast of northwest and australia has been named as elsa. and it's got to make landfall on thursday night or early friday morning. in this, not particularly well populated area of australia, but it's part of a system which will spread its influence for the south and east. so whilst you're enjoying the suns

they couldn't prove anything, but they had they had had the information from whittaker chambers, they the information from bentley known as the red spy queen, who in 1945 came up with a list of 45 names, another ex-kgb agent and alger hiss and his brother donald hiss also in the state department, were on her list. so alger hiss left the state department because the security people wanted him out of fact, that was known at the time and that obvious alger hiss never about it. so to answer your question, a lot of the state department secure files on the communist stalinist penetration disappeared over the years. great controversy about this in the 1950s. so it's unclear whether the state department personnel file is were whitewashed at some point or what happened. but certainly during the truman administration this was a big issue. truman wanted to make, wanted the problem to go away. and whether the files were destroyed or whitewashed or people just simply looked the other way, we don't know entirely the truth. okay. any other questions what do you what do we know about his family? what
