"Demagogue: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joe McCarthy" with Author Larry Tye

U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy was one of the most controversial people in 1950s America, championing an anti-communist movement that often gave way to antisemitism. In "Demagogue: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joe McCarthy," bestselling author Larry Tye offers a comprehensive portrait of McCarthy based on the first-ever review of his personal and professional papers, medical and military records, and recently unsealed transcripts of his closed-door Congressional hearings.
In this Museum program, Tye discussed his new book and McCarthy’s complex legacy.
