by Robert Griffith
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
Originally published in 1970 and now a classic in its field, The Politics of Fear traces the rise and fall of one of America's most notorious political demagogues.
Robert Griffith concludes that McCarthy's enormous power owed less to the force of the senator's unique personality than to the issues and symbols with which he identified and that McCarthy was the product, not the progenitor, of the post-war politics of anticommunism.
For this edition, Griffith has provided a new introduction covering the recent literature on McCarthyism and the changing views on the topic.
