Whittaker Chambers (April 1, 1901 - July 9, 1961) was an American editor who fervently denounced communist espionage and gained respect among American conservatives in the 1950s. Initially a member of the Communist Party (1925) and a Soviet spy (1932-1938), he later renounced communism, worked for Time magazine (1939-1948), and testified in the Alger Hiss espionage trials (1949-1950). He authored his memoirs, 'Witness' (1952), detailing his experiences. Chambers briefly served as senior editor at National Review (1957-1959) and was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan in 1984.
