Overview
Focuses on McCarthyism's public backing and the causes of Senator Joseph McCarthy's downfall. The book examines the Eisenhower administration's role in the Senator's political collapse and attempts to answer the question: to what extent is this episode exemplary of how a demagogue can be destroyed? Intended not only for students, scholars, and historians but also for a general audience interested in the McCarthy era.
