Description
<p>For five long years, Senator Joseph McCarthy’s anti-communist crusade polarized our country, terrified politicians, and destroyed the lives of thousands of U.S. citizens. Referred to as one of the darkest chapters in our nation’s history, feelings of suspicion, hatred, and extremism threatened the delicate balance between national security and civil liberties.
Fifty years later, the affects of terrorism has once again created an age of distrust and misinformation. Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Haynes Johnson offers a candid and powerful argument of how detrimental a culture of fear is for our country and how our leaders cannot afford to make the same mistakes as Senator McCarthy </p>
