The age of McCarthyism : a brief history with documents

" ... Combines a comprehensive essay on the history of McCarthyism with compelling documents that trace the course of anti-Communist furor in the US. The volume's 95-page essay follows the campaign against domestic subversion from its origins in the 1939s, through its escalation in the 1940s, to its decline in the 1950s. The second part includes more than 47 original documents (including 6 new sources) --congressional transcripts, FBI reports, speeches and letters--that chronicle the anti-Communist crusade."--Publisher
