The Unfinished Story Of Alger Hiss by Fred J. Cook is a non-fiction book that explores the controversial life of Alger Hiss, a former U.S. State Department official who was accused of being a Soviet spy during the Cold War. The book delves into Hiss's background, his rise to power in Washington D.C., and the events that led to his downfall.Cook presents a comprehensive account of the Hiss case, including the investigations, trials, and appeals that Hiss went through. He also examines the political climate of the time, including the anti-communist hysteria that swept the country and the tactics used by the government to prosecute suspected spies.The book challenges the official narrative of the Hiss case, arguing that Hiss was unfairly targeted and that the evidence against him was weak. Cook presents evidence that suggests that Hiss was the victim of a political witch hunt and that his accusers had ulterior motives.Overall, The Unfinished Story Of Alger Hiss is a fascinating and thought-provoking read that sheds new light on one of the most controversial episodes in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
