Joe McCarthy gave his name to the cause of zealous anti-Communism, but it was McCarran, a lifelong Democrat, who actually wrote the laws, held the hearings, and bullied the State and Justice Departments into doing his bidding. McCarran reached the Senate in 1932--and broke ranks with Roosevelt during the New Deal's first week. But it was Truman who would become his real nemesis. McCarran turned his Senate Judiciary Committee into a virtual government within the government. He worked with J. Edgar Hoover to undermine the Truman Administration before McCarthy even got to Washington. He created the most far-reaching anti-sedition law ever enacted in America, which filled Ellis Island with alleged subversives and set up concentration camps to hold suspected traitors. From Capitol Hill to the United Nations, from union halls to Hollywood, McCarran's wrath broke careers and lives and ultimately cost his party control of the Senate. Ybarra's narrative shows that McCarran was half right: There really were Communists in Washington--but it was the hunt for them that did the real damage--From publisher description.10aMcCarran, Pat,d1876-1954. 0aLegislatorszUnited StatesvBiography.10aUnited States.bCongress.bSenatevBiography. 0aAnti-communist movementszUnited StatesxHistoryy20th century.10aUnited States.bCongress.bHouse.bCommittee on Un-American Activities. 0aUnited StatesxPolitics and governmenty1901-1953. 0aNevadaxPolitics and governmenty20th century.08iOnline version:aYbarra, Michael J.tWashington gone crazy.b1st ed.dHanover, N.H. : Steerforth Press, c2004w(OCoLC)649858909423Contributor biographical informationuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/bios/random051/2004006627.html423Publisher descriptionuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/random051/2004006627.html413Table of contentsuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0416/2004006627.html  aBaker and TaylorbBTCPn2004006627  aYBP Library ServicesbYANKn2173565  aBaker & TaylorbBKTYc35.00d26.25i1586420658n0006002855sactive  2lcccbk  aC0bDRFGD  c5171d5171  00102lcc40708RRaBJBbBJBcRRd2018-10-23h1l0o002 E 748 M478Y 2004p00000028028r2018-10-23 00:00:00t1w2018-10-23ybk
