Owner's Comments

Cold War, Constitutional Liberty, Enemies foreign and domestic. The Cold War intensified in 1950 as Senator Joseph McCarthy alleged Communist infiltration of the federal government, specifically the United States Department of State of employing 205 Communists. The resulting investigations and loyalty programs sparked enduring constitutional debates over free speech, due process, association, and national security that would shape the decade.
