Foreword by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. Revere suggests that McCarthy was our first national demagogue, a perennial threat to democracy and tries to explain the inexplicable--how he gained such power in the 1950s. Photo shot of McCarthy in green, red titles, on cover which is clean with small chips from a staple removal, it looks like, light wear to edges, glued binding tight and solid. Endpapers have scuffed, ragged spot in the center of the pages near the spine, corners of these pages sort of chewed looking. Text pages are clean and unmarked, no creases or tears, lightly toned. A superbly readable book about America's most famous demagogue. Richard Rovere depicts the extraordinary career of Senator Joseph McCarthyr in all its wild extravagance. 296 pages. 8vo. Index. 1996, University of California Press.
