Replying to Avatar Séimí Mac Síomón

Could anyone recommend a comprehensive and introductory book regarding "McCarthyism" , I often hear it mentioned and I have to admit that I don't really know much about it beyond it was a response to communism.

This is a sympathetic account of McCarthy rather than the commie propaganda we're usually fed.

And Diana West's American Betrayal is a good, and highly readable, backgrounder which explains the extent to which the US government had been infiltrated by Stalinists in the lead up to McCarthy's campaign.
