Many Are the Crimes

Synopsis

It all seems like so much ancient history -- the "red scare", black

lists; even Senator Mccarthy. Yet, in truth, the so-called "Mccarthy

period" -- during which people were persecuted and investigated for

what they thought -- is one of the most shameful periods of our

history. In her book, ellen Schrecker takes a hard look at this

phenomenon and draws some sobering conclusions. If you love freedom and

liberty and feel that all of us need to work to keep it safe -- from

the right and the left -- this book is a must read. And, lest you think

this is ancient history, think about some of the hysterical sexual

abuse trials of the eighties and nineties. From whence will the next

danger come?
