description: Noted scholar and authority on the FBI Athan G. Theoharis examines the case of Alger Hiss, a State Department official who was accused of spying for the Soviet Union and convicted of perjury in 1950. As the title of this book indicates, Theoharis looks beyond the famous Hiss case itself and into the surrounding culture of the time, specifically at the behavior of the FBI and Congress during the cold war era.
