A friend of my daughter is a freshman at Mizzou. She thought she had signed up for a literature class, but the lefty professor has turned it into a 1950's history class, complete with the predictable attacks on conservatives over HUAC, McCarthy, Korean War, H-bomb (Oppenheimer vs. Teller), Hollywood "blacklist," big business (McDonalds), suburbia, etc.
She has asked me to recommend some books that provide a conservative perspective on that time period. I have already recommended Treason (Coulter) for the section on McCarthy. I would appreciate any suggestions my Freeper friends may have. Remember, this is on her own time and she will only be able to read a reasonable amount. Thanks ahead of time.
Your history book is a great read. I enjoyed it immensely.
Even PBS had to admit that there were spies working for the Russians in the US. Interviews/transcripts from two TV programs here:

(The Rosenbergs were the tip of the iceberg. Read about Ted Hall and the Cohens in "The Red Files" link.)
Thanks so much. We have put additional sections, which the editors cut for space/$$ purposes, on our website, www.patriotshistoryusa.com. We are also getting maps up there.

Larry. I went to that website and didn't find these things. How did I miss them?
We are getting them up as fast as we can. Right now, I think (I'm not the webmaster) the priority is study guides for all the homeschoolers. But I've submitted extra sections for ch. 1-9 (Mike has to do 7-8, because I no longer have my longer, extended copy), and I've submitted 6-8 maps. Our webmaster is working on all this, but, as I say, the near-term goal is to get the homeschoolers set up with tests, study guides, and so on.
