Zusammenfassung:The "summary testament" that Whittaker Chambers wanted to complete as a sequel to "Witness" (1952) never saw light in the form he would have given it. Chambers had a final heart attack in Jul 1961. In 1964, "Cold Friday" appeared, but this posthumous offering by Chambers's wife and his editor friend, Duncan Norton-Taylor, is not the book he envisioned. Bratcher examines "Cold Friday" (the name of a hilltop on Chambers's Maryland farm) with a view to singling out the "testament" within.
