A Genius for Confusion: Joseph R. McCarthy and the Politics of Deceit

This new biography of Joseph R. McCarthy shows how the Wisconsin Senator's campaign against American Communists prized sensation above truth. Richard Fried's book builds on over a decade's research in a multitude of sources, many of them newly opened. Fried captures the high drama of McCarthy's rise and fall and the legacy of McCarthyism.
