The subject of The Anti-Communist Manifestos is four influential
books that informed the great political struggle known as the Cold
War: Darkness at Noon (1940), by Arthur Koestler, a Hungarian
journalist and polymath intellectual; Out of the Night (1941), by
Jan Valtin, a German sailor and labor agitator; I Chose Freedom
(1946), by Victor Kravchenko, a Soviet engineer; and Witness
(1952), by Whittaker Chambers, an American journalist. The authors
were ex Communist Party members whose bitter disillusionment led
them to turn on their former allegiance in literary fury.Koestler
was a rapist, Valtin a thug. Kravchenko, though not a spy, was
forced to live like one in America. Chambers was a prophet without
honor in his own land. Three of the four had been underground
espionage agents of the Comintern. All contemplated suicide, and
two of them achieved it. John V. Fleming s humane and ironic
narrative of these grim lives reveals that words were the true
driving force behind the Cold War."
