Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe Mccarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies

By: M. Stanton Evans

Synopsis: Journalist and commentator Evans assures his readers that McCarthy had access to information about communist infiltration of the US government and that his charges were based on fact. Evans's interpretation of archival material he understands to have been long forgotten or hidden indicates McCarthy was justified in conducting hearings and censuring individuals. Further, Evans believes the Truman and Eisenhower administrations and State Department officials lied about spies in their midst and ignored warnings by the FBI that individuals in key positions were secret communists. As he goes case by case, finding anomalies in records, Evans also claims that McCarthy was convinced by evidence that those he targeted were not victims but enemies, and that he was destroyed by a conspiracy that appears to extend to this day in history books.
