Rarely is the central conflict of an age dramatized in a historic experience which touches all men so closely that none can disregard it; all men must react to it one way or another. The Hiss-Chambers Case was such an experience.
When one of the chief figures in such an experience also happens to be a man who feels deeply and can give voice to what he feels, the result is likely to be a memorable book. *Witness* is such a book.
The great theme of *Witness* is the ordeal of the human soul caught in the 20th century's conflict of faiths—religion against materialism, freedom against communism. In the 20th century, it is every man's ordeal. For ever man has suffered—or within the next two decades will suffer—that ordeal and its consequences. Nevertheless, millions of men do not understand what that war of faiths is about or the nature of that ordeal. *Witness* is Whittaker Chambers' interpretation of both.
