Need source material that there were not really (m)any Communists
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Fri Mar-11-05 08:27 PM by Hissyspit
infiltrating the U.S. government during the McCarthy era. I have heard perfectly good scholars and historians say that, no matter McCarthy's true motivations (power, self-aggrandizment, whatever), Soviet spies were few and far between. Need to counter arguments justifying McCarthy's behavior based on 'real Cold War threat/he was barking up the right tree' analysis. Internet sources quotes are fine. Would like to find as much as I can. Thanks.
