Description
Whittaker
Chambers
was a
major
figure
in the
intellectual
development
of the
American
right
in the
post-war
period
.
During
his
tenure
at
Time
Magazine
during
the
Cold
War
, he
championed
a
fervent
anti-communist
viewpoint
,
identifying
an
existential
threat
to
freedom
from the
Soviet
Union
and
China
, that
became
a
defining
trait
of the
American
political
right
.
One
consequence
of the
fear
of
communists
was a
purge
of
homosexuals
in
government
service
as
security
risks
.
Robert
Dawidoff
,
professor
of
history
at
CGU
,
discusses
Chamber's
passage
from a
communist
party
member
to
FBI
informant
, the
role
his
homosexuality
played
in his
life
, the
accusations
against
Alger
Hiss
, and
Chamber's
memoir
"
Witness.
