Reviews
"What a marvelous book! The story of America's postwar Red Scare has lost none of its historical importance or contemporary resonance, and Risen brings it beautifully to life in this deeply researched, incisive, and elegantly written work. The implications for today are all too clear." --Frederik Logevall, author of JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917-1956 "In a narrative both eloquent and incisive, Clay Risen has produced the most complete history of the Red Scare that has ever been written. His judgments about the characters--both famous and obscure--who mattered in this low, dishonest era are always persuasive. While a delight to read, the book explains why the conspiratorial style of politics that dominated America 75 years ago is with us still." ?--Michael Kazin, author of What It Takes to Win: A History of the Democratic Party "Clay Risen's sweeping portrait of a nightmare moment when America lost its faith in itself is a vivid reminder of what happens when we trade our founding ideals for easy answers and false security. It's a troubling parable for our own perilous times." ?--?Todd S. Purdum, author of An Idea Whose Time Has Come: Two Presidents, Two Parties, and the Battle for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, "A sweeping history of the campaign to suppress liberal dissent via blacklisting and harassment...An exemplary work of political and cultural history that invites a gimlet-eyed look at our own time." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review), "What a marvelous book! The story of America's postwar Red Scare has lost none of its historical importance or contemporary resonance, and Risen brings it beautifully to life in this deeply researched, incisive, and elegantly written work. The implications for today are all too clear." --Fredrik Logevall, author of JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917-1956 "In a narrative both eloquent and incisive, Clay Risen has produced the most complete history of the Red Scare that has ever been written.

It's a troubling parable for our own perilous times." --Todd S. Purdum, author of An Idea Whose Time Has Come: Two Presidents, Two Parties, and the Battle for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 "Clay Risen has written a gripping genealogy of the McCarthyist right and the Red Scare...American history [that] continue[s] to echo down to the present." -- Molly Jong-Fast, Vanity Fair , special correspondent, "Lays out the many mechanisms of repression that made the Red Scare possible...[ Red Scare ]describes how something that once seemed so terrifying and interminable did, in fact, come to an end." --The New Yorker "Risen's fluent narrative...goes beyond the familiar Hollywood blacklists to reveal how conspiracy stories touched educators and people in various civil rights movements and led to the 'canceling' of individuals in business, government, and any sphere influential to the prevailing culture." --Foreign Affairs "In his meticulous and mesmerizing history Red Scare: Blacklists, McCarthyism, and the Making of Modern America , Clay Risen traces the cultural, political, and social forces that gave rise to McCarthy in 1950 and to his fall in 1954 ... By deftly toggling between the personal and national, Risen gives us a riveting and disquieting portrayal of our nation's recent past and, perhaps, its immediate future." --Forward
Synopsis
As relevant as it is comprehensive, Red Scare tells the story of McCarthyism and the Red Scare--based in part on newly declassified sources--by an award-winning writer of history and New York Times reporter. The film Oppenheimer has awakened interest in this vital period of American history. Now, for the first time in a generation, Red Scare presents a narrative history of the anti-Communist witch hunt that gripped America in the decade following World War II. The cultural phenomenon, most often referred to as McCarthyism, was an outgrowth of the conflict between social conservatives and New Deal progressives, coupled with the terrifying onset of the Cold War. This defining moment in American history, unlike any that preceded it, was marked by an unprecedented degree of political hysteria. Drawing upon newly declassified documents, journalist Clay Risen recounts how politicians like Joseph McCarthy, with the help of an extended network of other government officials and organizations, systematically ruined thousands of lives in their deluded pursuit of alleged Communist conspiracies. Beginning with the origins of the era after WWI through to its conclusion in 1957, Risen brings to life the politics, patriotism, opportunism, courage, and delirium of those years through the lives and experiences of a cast of towering historical figures, including President Eisenhower, Roy Cohn, Paul Robeson, Robert Oppenheimer, Helen Gahagan Douglas, Richard Nixon, and many more individuals known and unknown. Red Scare takes us beyond the familiar story of McCarthyism and the Hollywood blacklists to a fuller understanding of what the country went through at a time of moral questioning and perceived threat from the left, and what we were capable of doing to each other as a result. An urgent, accessible, and important history, Red Scare reveals an all-too-familiar pattern of illiberal conspiracy-mongering and political and cultural backlash that speaks directly to the antagonism and divisiveness of our contemporary moment.

    The book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++

    Book arrived quickly and is pretty close to "Very Good" description. Value priced and I'm glad I made the purchase as this is an excellent read. However, the book was mailed loose inside an over-sized plastic bag without any protection. Wrapped in a bubble wrap jacket would be a big help. A book can take a beating in USPS transit without some buffer. I can't tell if the bumps and dings were original or occurred in transit. I'd prefer to pay for shipping than have it sent with no protection.
