There does come a point where the snark factor produces diminishing returns. Like A.J. Liebling, Rovere can't really resist putting in side comments which detract from the serious issues he raises about McCarthy; most notably, McCarthy's shady finances, a point not often raised. Interestingly, Rovere roundly denounces government workers' leakage of documents to McCarthy; one wonders whether he would view those kinds of actions with the same outrage today.

The story of Senator Joseph McCarthy's rise to unprecedented power and the decline of his influence is a dramatic one. Richard Rovere documents the process by which a clever, power hungry individual came to mislead and manipulate members of Congress and the American public and to damage countless lives. A new foreword for this edition by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. places the book in historical context and relates it to current issues in American public life.
