Readers looking for additional information on the Hiss trials are
advised
to visit "The
Alger
Hiss
Story," a site constructed with the support of the
Alger
Hiss
Research and Publication Project of the Nation Institute.
The
site
is rich and beautifully designed. It contains extensive
links to
documents and images pertaining to many aspects of the Hiss
hearings
and
trials, including many rather recent developments in the
case.
Readers
should note, however, that the site maintains a decidedly
sympathetic
view
of Hiss. A note on the site even notes that a primary goal
of the
site is to provide "a comprehensive look at the case for
the
defense"
(emphasis added). This pro-Hiss orientation is not
surprising
given
the funding for the site and the fact that its managing editor is
Jeff
Kisseloff, who assisted Alger Hiss in the preparation of his coram
nobis
petition.

Another valuable source of information is maintained by David Chambers, grandson of Whittaker Chambers. "Whittaker Chambers in Books," http://wcinbooks.whittakerchambers.org/ , offers the comments of David Chambers on books relating to Whittaker Chambers and undertakes the tasks of correcting published mistakes about the case and re-thinking the case. A second website, http://www.whittakerchambers.org/ collects online information about Chambers.
