આ ઇ-પુસ્તક વિશે
Winner of the National Book Award: The definitive history of Joe McCarthy, the Hollywood blacklist, and HUAC from a longtime editor of The Nation and former Chair of the Columbia Journalism Review .
Drawing on interviews with over one hundred and fifty people who were called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee—including Elia Kazan, Ring Lardner Jr., and Arthur Miller—award-winning author Victor S. Navasky reveals how and why the blacklists were so effective and delves into the tragic and far-reaching consequences of Joseph McCarthy's witch hunts.
A compassionate, insightful, and even-handed examination of one of our country's darkest hours, Naming Names is at once a morality play and a fascinating window onto a searing moment in American cultural and political history—one that feels all too familiar in the present day.
