Customer Reviews

A well written, non-biased book

Doreen Rappaport did a superb job on this one. It is incredibly non-biased, though it leans from side to side. One minute it convinces you that Alger Hiss was guilty, and the next you're positive that he was guilty. Its amazing (and a little scary) that this trial is still contraversial, even though Hiss died in 1997. All in all, a very good book. I recomend it.
