Financed by the Fund for the Republic and emanating from Stanford University, this book is primarily concerned, not with whether ex-Communist witnesses Chambers, Bentley, Budenz and Lautner told the truth, but whether the investigative processes used were adapted to “eliciting a full development of the facts.” The processes in question are trials (Hiss and Remington), congressional inquiries and administrative proceedings.
