This 'analysis' undertaken by practicing psychiatrist and author Zeligs of Hiss and Chambers is psychological in nature examining the lives of the two adversaries. Hiss was accused by Chambers of being a Communist spy. Even freshman congressman Richard Nixon got into the act. Dr. Meyer Aaron Zeligs whose defense of Alger Hiss„ Friendship and Fratricide" stirred controversy when it was published in 1967 with the conclusion that Whittaker Chambers was a psychopathic personality died on his 69th birthday. Dr. Zeligs a psychoanalyst corresponded with Mr. Hiss after he had read about the Hiss perjury conviction. But Mr. Chambers refused to see him and in 1961 shortly after Dr. Zeligs began writing his hook Mr. Chambers died. Dr. Zeligs graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 1928 and its Medical School in 1932 Dr. Zeligs served as a Navy commander in World War II. Friendship and Fratricide an Analysis of Whittaker Chambers and Alger Hiss is a 1967 book by psychoanalyst Meyer A. Zeligs. In his work Zeligs argued that Whittaker Chambers was a psychopathic personality who had framed Alger Hiss. Zeligs was a 1928 graduate of the University of Cincinnati and a 1932 graduate of its Medical School before serving as medical officer in the US Navy during World War II. On August 3 1948 Whittaker Chambers a former U.S. Communist Party member testified under subpoena before the House Un-American Activities Committee that Alger Hiss an American government official had secretly been a Communist while in federal service. Although Chambers refused to see Zeligs the author did correspond with Hiss. Friendship and Fratricide was widely reviewed. In 1978 The New York Times reflected that the work "stirred controversy when it was published in 1967 with the conclusion that Whittaker Chambers was a psychopathic personality". Writing in the Archive of General Psychiatry one contemporary reviewer described the book as "almost impossible to put down". Another reviewer characterized the work as a novel genre in an article entitled "The Potential of Psychoanalytic Biography". The Harvard Crimson opined that work "only further complicates the already hopelessly complicated questions surrounding Alger Hiss's alleged crime" Time reviewed the book under the title "Slander of a Dead Man" In the 1999 work "The Strange Case of Alger Hiss and Whittaker Chambers" the author argues that "Zeligs was addressing himself to a genuine psychological riddle in writing Friendship and Fratricide."
