"No one who cares about liberty will read Mr. Bayley's masterful
study without a shudder about the journalistic cop-outs that
contributed to making the nightmare called McCarthyism. This book
reminds us that it could happen here, but perhaps will make it
harder to happen next time."--Daniel Schorr
"Thorough, incisive and fascinating, this is the best account we
have of the strange relationship between Joe McCarthy and the
American press."--Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
