What made the experience of listening to Whittaker Chambers the most enjoyable?
This is a well-written biography by a good journalist and historian, and the audiobook's narration is clean and sharp.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Chambers was a fascinating and complicated man who wrote with eloquence, and this biography conveys it all.
Which scene was your favorite?
The relationship between Chambers and Hiss is compelling. Though Chambers exposed Hiss as a Communist, he never hated Hiss.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
This book (or "Witness") would make an outstanding movie. For a long time, the politics of the case probably made it impossible for Hollywood to tell it the right way, but perhaps now it can be done.
Any additional comments?
The best way to learn about Whittaker Chambers is to read "Witness." This biography is the second-best way.
