Richard M. Fried's lively Nightmare in Red is the first book to offer a well-balanced, complete account of the entire McCarthy era. Fried uncovers the origins of extremist anti-communism in the troubled 1930s and traces it beyond the censure of Senator McCarthy to its lingering demise in the late 50s and 60s. Along the way, we meet the familiar figures of the era, from McCarthy to Truman to the young Richard Nixon. But more importantly, Fried also shows us how thousands of ordinary people--from teachers and lawyers to college students, factory workers, and janitors--were affected by McCarthyism. Along with the famous, Fried recounts a wealth of little-known but telling episodes involving victims and victimizers of anti-communist politics at the state and local levels. This wide-ranging study provides a highly original account of the impact of anti-communism in mid-century American politics and culture.
