| |  | | | In Brief
This is a biography of the Senator who achieved prominence in the early 50s with his accusations against U.S. officials he considered Communist or subversive. Bibliography. Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
Historian David M. Oshinsky reveals the internal and external forces that launched Joseph McCarthy on his political career, carried him to national prominence, and, finally, triggered his decline and fall. More than the life of an intensely -- even pathologically -- ambitious man, however, A Conspiracy So Immense is a fascinating portrait of America in the grip of Cold War fear, anger, suspicion, and betrayal.
