The book explores Richard Nixon's pivotal role in the House Un-American Activities Committee, where his investigations into Alger Hiss brought significant attention to alleged Soviet espionage. It details how these inquiries uncovered evidence that Hiss was a mole within the State Department, leading to a trial that devastated Hiss's reputation. This scandal not only tarnished Hiss but also significantly advanced Nixon's political career, ultimately paving his path to the Presidency.
