can you guys helped me :( Do the accusations seem to have been fair? Explain. - The Hollywood Ten - Alger Hiss - Ethel and Julius Rosenberg
My book states "The most dramatic spy case to come before HUAC involved the atomic bomb. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, a New York couple who were members of the Communist Party, were accused of plotting to pass secret information about the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union." So my answer is Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
Alger Hiss was accused of being a Soviet spy in 1948 and convicted of perjury in connection with this charge in 1950. His guilt has been argued every since and never settled
Whittaker Chambers testified against Alger Hiss in his espionage trial.
A Communist Spy.
Alger Hiss was accused of espionage by Whittaker Chambers, a self identified communist, in 1984.

Witness is 808 pages. Whittaker Chambers is the author. The book was published in 1952. It was about the Alger Hiss trial.
The reasons that Whittaker Chambers became a communist he answered best himself in his 1952 memoir, Witness. The book's forward, "Letter to My Children," is in part a summary of why he did so. The book contains detailed accounts of the steps that led him both to join and to break with Communism.Sources: Readers interested in more details would do well to start with the official sites for both men, which include references to many other sources:- Whittaker Chambers: http://www.whittakerchambers.org/- Alger Hiss: http://www.algerhiss.com/- Witness (New York, Random House, 1952)

During Alger Hiss's first trial, he was charged with perjury. He had told several lies under an oath,saying that he was never a Communist, and he did not know Whittaker Chambers. The first trial ended in a swing jury: eight believed that Alger Hiss was guilty, and four believed that he was not guilty. The law required that Alger Hiss would have to tried again. Between the first and second trials, the Soviet Union exploded an atominc bomb, ending the U.S. monopoly on nuclear weapons. The two nightmares for America in the 1940s had collided into one: the Communists had the bomb. The defense in the second trial made efforts to convince the jury that Chambers was crazy. The jury did not think that he was crazy. After twenty-four hours the jury finally found Alger Hiss guilty of perjury.-Miley
