Author Larry Tye will discuss his new, definitive biography of U.S. Senator Joe McCarthy. From 1950 to 1954, McCarthy destroyed many careers and even entire lives, whipping the nation into a frenzy of paranoia. Based on the first-ever review of his personal and professional papers, medical and military records, and recently unsealed transcripts of his closed-door congressional hearings, in Demagogue Tye reveals a human being whose chaotic, meteoric rise is a lesson for us all.
