About Alger Hiss

Alger Hiss was an American government official who served as a high-ranking State Department official. He came under scrutiny during the Cold War era for being suspected of spying for the Soviet Union. Hiss was accused of passing classified information to Soviet agents and was convicted of perjury for denying his involvement in espionage. This case, known as the 'Alger Hiss affair,' was a highly publicized event that raised significant concerns about Communist infiltration in the U.S. government.
