dont forget coulter’s excellent book ‘Treason’ for a ton of detail on this same subject.....
Coulter’s book treason really opened my eyes-especially on the “have you no decency sir?” quote.
If you study that single famous line and understand its true context...the entire myth around McCarthy begins to unwind.
P.S.
God bless those behind the Venona project without whose work we would never really know that McCarthy was right.
