Joseph R. McCarthy's new biography reveals how his campaign against American Communists prioritized sensation over truth. McCarthy often abandoned his pursuit of Reds to engage in anti-communist critics, using loud accusations and covert gossip. He was vulnerable to con artists, leading to wild goose chases. The book, written by historian Fried, draws on over a decade of research from various sources, including McCarthy's papers, forty-seven Senate colleagues' records, journalists, observers, and activists. It highlights dramatic episodes such as a CIA "op" against McCarthy and his quest for Soviet security chief Lavrenti Beria in Spain. This multi-focal perspective on McCarthy's political and institutional environment is filled with drama.
