Query: A Poor Read

Very disappointing read. When I read the footnote: "*The methods used by Senator Joseph McCarthy...made him widely unpopular. However, most of those he accused were proved later to have been, indeed working for the Soviet side.", I did a double take. Not being familiar with the Hoover Institution, I looked it up on the net..a totally right wing outfit. I can tolerate a certain amount of an author's bias in history, but this work is so slanted to the right that it has no credibility. I read to learn, not to have right winged propaganda shoved down my throat. I do not recommend this book, unless you are of the author's political persuasion and love distorted history.
