Items related to McCarthyism: The Red Scare (Snapshots in History)
Synopsis
In 1950, the United States was gripped by a fear of communism. The Soviet Union had expanded its communist influence, and news of Soviet nuclear testing had many Americans fearing for their lives. Contributing to the hysteria was Joseph McCarthy, a senator from Wisconsin who made headlines by claiming that Communist spies were working in the U.S. government. The fear and mistrust of this "Red Scare" affected people in all walks of life. It appeared as if no one was safe from investigation.

From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up—Packed with information, these books succinctly cover major events during their respective periods. Sidebars and bracketed box quotes highlight important information and thoughts without breaking the flow of the narrative. Average-quality black-and-white and color photographs and illustrations are spread throughout. McCarthyism vividly portrays the fear of Communism in the U.S., beginning after the Russian Revolution. This book shows, in clear language, how McCarthy spread paranoia throughout the country and ruined many lives and careers. Quotes from the Army-McCarthy hearings illustrate how the senator's techniques eventually contributed to his official censure and loss of power. Soviet Union describes leaders, their plans, and their ultimate downfalls, from the removal of Tsar Nicholas II to the problems of present-day Russia. These books are great for research, providing brief but comprehensive views of their topics.—Marilyn Fairbanks, Azure IRC, Brockton High School, MA
