Title: Is He Kidding?
Product review: I would have given this book no stars if given the option. If you want to read about the Fifties Red Scare look somewhere else. This book is full of innuendos, unsubstantiated anecdotes, and blatant lies. Fariello will not even admit that there WERE atomic secrets during the forties and fifties. He consistently ignores any evidence of any wrongdoing by any leftist, Communist or fellow traveler. It seems that he would have the reader believe that there never was ANY espionage going on at this time. For a more interesting book-one backed up by thorough source material-read"Bombshell" by Albright and Kunstel.There is no doubt that the hysteria that swept the country at this time was the cause of wrongful prosecutions and harrassment by government of those on the political left but this really is not the book to learn about these facts.
