Pretty much:
"After printing rabidly venomous accounts of McCarthy for half a century based on zero research, liberals would only accept research presenting an alternative view of McCarthy that included, as the Los Angeles Times put it, at least the “pretense of scholarly throat-clearing and objectivity.”
“This week, they got it. The great M. Stanton Evans has finally released Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies . Based on a lifetime's work, including nearly a decade of thoroughgoing research, stores of original documents and never-before-seen government files, this 672-page book ends the argument on Joe McCarthy. Look for it hidden behind stacks of Bill Clinton's latest self-serving book at a bookstore near you.
Evans’ book is such a tour de force that liberals are already preparing a “yesterday's news” defense — as if they had long ago admitted the truth about McCarthy.

The true story of Joe McCarthy, told in meticulous, irrefutable detail in “Blacklisted by History,” is that from 1938 to 1946, the Democratic Party acquiesced in a monstrous conspiracy being run through the State Department, the military establishment, and even the White House to advance the Soviet cause within the U.S. government.

Blacklisted by History proves that every conventional belief about McCarthy is wrong, including:
— That he lied about his war service: He was a tailgunner in World War II;
— That he was a drunk: He would generally nurse a single drink all night;
— That he made the whole thing up: He produced loads of Soviet spies in government jobs;
— That he just did it for political gain: He understood perfectly the godless evil of communism"
