Download Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight against America’s Enemies AudioBook Free
Accused of fabricating a bogus Red scare and smearing many innocent victims in a five-year reign of terror, Senator Joseph McCarthy is universally kept in mind as a demagogue, a bully, and a liar. Record has judged him such a loathsome body that even today, a half-century after his loss of life, his name remains synonymous with witch hunts. But that conventional image is all wrong, as veteran journalist and author M. Stanton Evans reveals in this groundbreaking publication. The long-awaited Blacklisted by Record, predicated on six years of extensive research, dismantles the myths bordering Joe McCarthy and his campaign to unmask Communists, Soviet agencies, and flagrant loyalty dangers working within the U.S. federal. Evans' revelations completely overturn our understanding of McCarthy, McCarthyism, and the Cool War. Sketching on primary options, Evans reveals irrefutable proof a relentless Communist drive to penetrate our federal, influence its insurance policies, and take its secrets. Most shocking of most, he implies that U.S. officials supposedly guarding against this hazard not only allow it happen but positively covered the penetration. All of this was accurately as Joe McCarthy contended. Evans implies that practically everything we have been advised about McCarthy is bogus, including conventional treatment of the famous 1950 talk at Wheeling, Western Virginia, that launched the McCarthy period, the Senate hearings that casually dismissed his charges, plus much more. In the long run, Senator McCarthy was censured by his fellow workers and condemned by the press and historians. Blacklisted by Record provides the first accurate consideration of what McCarthy did and, more broadly, what occurred to America through the Cold War. It really is a revealing exposé of the causes that distorted our national policy in that conflict and our understanding of its background since.
