If you believe as I do, that now seventy years later, the McCarthy period has never actually come to an end, then this is required reading. Even if you don't believe that, but are just interested in what happened during the heyday of Joe McCarthy, you need to read this book. This is now the third edition, each one bringing new enhancements, and I wouldn't be surprised if there is eventually a fourth, as more information comes to light.
Ellen Schrecker and Philllip Deery, the two editors, deserve our thanks for persevering in the research on this important subject.
