Publisher's Synopsis

Jacoby focuses on the Hiss case, including his imprisonment for perjury, as a mirror of shifting American political view and passions. She examines conflicting responses, from scholars and the media on both the left and the right, and the ways in which they have changed from 1948 to our present post-Cold War era.
