This new biography of Joseph R. McCarthy shows how the Wisconsin Senator's campaign against American Communists prized sensation above truth. McCarthy often put aside his hunt for Reds while he pursued his anti-communist critics. He fought foes not just with noisy accusations but with covert gossip. He was gullible enough that some con artists managed to lure him on wild goose chases. The man who charged others with being "dupes" was sometimes one himself. Historian Fried's book builds on over a decade's research in a multitude of sources, many of them newly opened--not just McCarthy's own papers but those of forty-seven Senate colleagues, plus records of journalists, observers, and activists. It brings to light such theatrical episodes as a CIA "op" against McCarthy as well as Joe's quixotic search for Soviet security chief Lavrenti Beria in Spain. The resulting multi-focal perspective on the political and institutional setting in which McCarthy operated with such abandon is full of drama.
As the saying goes, everyone loves a parade. But never more so than in 1950s America, when flag waving, martial pomp, and staged ceremony were presented and often perceived as America's last best defence against the communist threat. Historian Richard Fried, author of Nightmare in Red, ploughs new ground with this exploration of the often absurd lengths the average citizen in McCarthyite America went to to help shore up patriotism and fend off the threat of the Red Menace.
According to newspaper headlines and television pundits, the cold
war ended many months ago; the age of Big Two confrontation is
over. But forty years ago, Americans were experiencing the
beginnings of another era--of the fevered anti-communism that came
to be known as McCarthyism. During this period, the Cincinnati Reds
felt compelled to rename themselves briefly the "Redlegs" to avoid
confusion with the other reds, and one citizen in Indiana
campaigned to have The Adventures of Robin Hood removed from
library shelves because the story's subversive message encouraged
robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. These developments
grew out of a far-reaching anxiety over communism that
characterized the McCarthy Era.
