Backgroundedit
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.[5][6]
Although Chambers refused to see Zeligs, the author did correspond with Hiss.[5][8]
Reactionedit
Friendship and Fratricide was widely reviewed.[9][10][11] 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".[5][12]
Writing in the Archive of General Psychiatry, one contemporary reviewer described the book as "almost impossible to put down".[13] Another reviewer characterized the work as a novel genre in an article entitled "The Potential of Psychoanalytic Biography".[14] The Harvard Crimson opined that work "only further complicates the already hopelessly complicated questions surrounding Alger Hiss's alleged crime"[15] Time reviewed the book under the title "Slander of a Dead Man"[16] 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."
