Description
Accused of creating a bogus Red Scare and smearing countless innocent victims in a five-year reign of terror, Senator Joseph McCarthy is universally remembered as a demagogue, a bully, and a liar. The long-awaited Blacklisted by History, based on six years of intensive research, dismantles the myths surrounding Joe McCarthy and his campaign to unmask Communists, Soviet agents, and flagrant loyalty risks working within the U.S. government. Evans also shows that practically everything we?ve been told about McCarthy is false, including conventional treatment of the famous 1950 speech at Wheeling, West Virginia, that launched the McCarthy era (?I have here in my hand .

Treasonable Doubt : The Harry Dexter White Spy Case

Attribution
R. Bruce Craig
Publication Details
Book, University Press of Kansas, 2004
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
(Hiss himself thought that White had been the real target of the House Un-American Activities Committee.) When White died only a week after his bold defense before Congress, much speculation remained about the cause of his death and the truth of the charges made against him. Sifting through this mountain of evidence, Craig retraces White’s rise to power within the Treasury Department and confirms that White was involved in a species of espionage–but also shows that the same evidence contradicts Bentley’s charges of policy subversion. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

Reds : McCarthyism In Twentieth-century America

Attribution
Ted Morgan
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, Random House, 2003
Description
In this landmark work, Pulitzer Prize?winning author Ted Morgan examines the McCarthyite strain in American politics, from its origins in the period that followed the Bolshevik Revolution to the present. The most pervasive period of Soviet espionage came during World War II, when Russia, as an ally of the United States, received military equipment financed under the policy of lend-lease. Thanks to the Venona transcripts of KGB cable traffic, we now have a detailed account of wartime Soviet espionage, down to the marital problems of Soviet spies and the KGB?s abject efforts to capture deserting Soviet seamen on American soil.
