Description:... Haynes and Klehr were the first U.S. historians who used the newly opened archives of the former Soviet Union to examine the history of American communism. In Denial is the record of what they discovered there. Focusing on what they call "lying about spying," the authors reveal how "revisionist" scholars have ignored or distorted documents from Russian archives that point to espionage links between Moscow and the CPUSA. They analyze the mythology that continues to hold, against all the evidence, that Alger Hiss, Julius Rosenberg. Harry Dexter White and others who betrayed the United States were more sinned against than sinning.
