Relevance: 26% Posted on: May 9, 2011
The Hiss case helped launch the 1950s McCarthy period, a decade of fear and distrust. Senator Joseph R.

This was a crucial distinction in light of evidence dating to 1938 that Chambers produced in late 1948, and then said was proof of espionage committed by Alger Hiss. The coram nobis petition excerpted here, in addition to…
