McCarthy: The Man and the Ism
San Francisco: The Pacific Publishing Foundation, [ca. 1953]. An early critical pamphlet of the Wisconsin Senator, which questions his military service record, highlights his unscrupulous law practice and shady financial dealings, exposes his connections with the extreme right fringe, and discusses his repressive Red Scare demagoguery. The concluding section suggests that “because of its cohesion, organized power, and manifest self-interest, labor is in the best position to lead a united crusade against McCarthyism” (p. 31).
