I wish to read it, it comes very highly recommended on FR.

It really is a good book. It's a surprisingly easy and quick read, which I think is intentional. She presents her evidence in a straightforward manner with good notes. My only wish was that she had used more primary sources, but she did use some. Her belief is that during the McCarthy hearings, the people of the country were the ones who figured out what was happening. They were anti-communist and did not appreciate the Ivy-League intellectuals who were not. I believe her book is directed to the average Joe (and Joan) who she seems to really believe is the strength and backbone of our country. I applaud her achievement here.
