The link that sackofcatfood posted is a good read. It has 40 Q&As that , in a nutshell, give a good overview of what went down, starting in the 30s.

If you have the time, check out

John Birch - A Patriotic Exemplar

Try McCarthy and His Enemies by William F. Buckley and Brent Bozell. You will have to go to a library to find this one.
