The Pumpkin Papers: The Hidden Documents That Put Alger Hiss on Trial: 5 (Covert Crimes) - Softcover
Book 5 of 6: Covert Crimes
Synopsis
In December 1948, investigators followed former Communist underground courier Whittaker Chambers onto his Maryland farm, where rolls of film were hidden inside a hollowed pumpkin. The discovery helped turn his accusation against former State Department official Alger Hiss into one of the defining cases of the early Cold War. Yet Hiss was never tried for espionage. With the older offense beyond the statute of limitations, federal prosecutors built a perjury case from copied government documents, handwritten memoranda, a family Woodstock typewriter, conflicting testimony, and two carefully worded answers under oath. Drawing on FBI records, congressional testimony, federal court files, and later-declassified VENONA cables, The Pumpkin Papers reconstructs what the evidence established, what the juries actually decided, and why the case still divides historians.
