Title: A Voice From the Past
Review: Professor Rogin explains much about our country and our national mind-set although this book is not for the casual reader. The simplistic, politial tract of Ann Coulter, for instance, is to this seriously written HISTORY as a supermarket tabloid is to a play by Maxwell Anderson. Professor Rogin presents Senator McCarthy as a rational outgrowth of the fear of change that gripped the conservative mind just following WW2.Even today, some of the same fear is used by those who wish to USE the easily led. "Socialist!" "Communist!" are often lables attenpted to be tied to those who simply think as liberals. If there were a charming McCarthy who knows how far such movements would go?As always, I am thamkful for Amazon. I can find and buy VERY extraordinary books at very reasonable prices and have them delivered to my door.
