Acerca de esta escucha
Accused of creating a bogus Red scare and smearing countless innocent victims in a five-year reign of terror, Senator Joseph McCarthy is universally remembered as a demagogue, a bully, and a liar. History has judged him such a loathsome figure that even today, a half-century after his death, his name remains synonymous with witch hunts.
But that conventional image is all wrong, as veteran journalist and author M. Stanton Evans reveals in this groundbreaking book. The long-awaited Blacklisted by History, based on six years of intensive research, dismantles the myths surrounding Joe McCarthy and his campaign to unmask Communists, Soviet agents, and flagrant loyalty risks working within the U.S. government.
Evans’ revelations completely overturn our understanding of McCarthy, McCarthyism, and the Cold War. Drawing on primary sources, Evans presents irrefutable evidence of a relentless Communist drive to penetrate our government, influence its policies, and steal its secrets. Most shocking of all, he shows that U.S. officials supposedly guarding against this danger not only let it happen but actively covered up the penetration. All of this was precisely as Joe McCarthy contended.
Evans shows that practically everything we’ve been told about McCarthy is false, including conventional treatment of the famous 1950 speech at Wheeling, West Virginia, that launched the McCarthy era, the Senate hearings that casually dismissed his charges, and much more.
In the end, Senator McCarthy was censured by his colleagues and condemned by the press and historians. Blacklisted by History provides the first accurate account of what McCarthy did and, more broadly, what happened to America during the Cold War. It is a revealing exposé of the forces that distorted our national policy in that conflict and our understanding of its history since.

Historia
Most Americans have grown accustomed to accept the version of history that the Soviets were our noble allies and took the brunt of the casualties during World War II. But after decades of research by veteran journalist M. Stanton Evans and intelligence expert Herbert Romerstein, the truth has come to light and is now exposed in Stalin's Secret Agents. Evans and Romerstein focus on the role of secret Communist Alger Hiss at the crucial Yalta Conference of 1945, where vast U.S. concessions were made to Russia....

Historia
A sinister cabal of corrupt law enforcement personnel, intelligence agents, and military officials at the highest levels of government plotted to overthrow a president. Even after they failed, they continue to secretly pull the levers of power without any accountability to the American people. This isn’t the synopsis of a fictional spy thriller. This is what is actually happening in the United States government.

In this penetrating philosophical memoir, Chambers recounts the famous case as well as his own experiences as a Communist agent in the United States, his later renunciation of communism, and his conversion to Christianity.

"Russian influence" may have entered our national pop-consciousness in Election 2016, but it is the shiny, deceptive, contested, and buried X-factor of a century of wars in Washington. In American Betrayal, Diana West digs deep to uncover a body of lies that Americans have been led to regard as the near-sacred history of World War II and its Cold War aftermath. Part real-life thriller, part national tragedy, American Betrayal lights up the massive, Moscow-directed penetration of America's most hallowed halls of power.

Some historians and journalists are starting to regard the Cold-War-era American Communist Party as nothing more than a quaint club of polite if misguided ideologues. In The Venona Secrets, Herbert Romerstein and Eric Breindel intend to create a new impression of treacherous Americans "who willfully gave their primary allegiance to a foreign power, the USSR."

Most Americans consider Abraham Lincoln to be the greatest president in history. His legend as the Great Emancipator has grown to mythic proportions as hundreds of books, a national holiday, and a monument in Washington, D.C., extol his heroism and martyrdom. But what if most everything you knew about Lincoln were false? What if, instead of an American hero who sought to free the slaves, Lincoln were in fact a calculating politician who waged the bloodiest war in American history in order to build an empire that rivaled Great Britain's?

In the 1960s, Mao launched China’s Cultural Revolution. Cities grew overcrowded. Technocrats demanded progress from above. Anyone opposed was sent to be “re-educated.” China’s revolution was bloody, fast, and a failure, but what if America started a revolution at the same time, based on the same bad ideas, and it’s just been slower, calmer, and more effective?

Like a thief in the night, artificial intelligence has inserted itself into our lives. It makes important decisions for us every day. Often, we barely notice. As Joe Allen writes in this groundbreaking book, “Transhumanism is the great merger of humankind with the Machine. At this stage in history, it consists of billions using smartphones. Going forward, we’ll be hardwiring our brains to artificial intelligence systems.” With an academic background in both science and theology, Allen confronts the paradox of what he calls “good people constructing a digital abomination.”

It was a devastating triple punch. Capping their four-year campaign to destroy the Trump presidency, the media portrayed a Democratic victory as necessary and inevitable. Big Tech, wielding unprecedented powers, vaporized dissent and erased damning reports about the Biden family’s corruption. Rigged is the definitive account of the 2020 election. Based on Mollie Hemingway’s exclusive interviews with campaign officials, reporters, Supreme Court justices, and President Trump himself, it exposes the fraud and cynicism behind the Democrats’ historic power grab.

Senator Frank Church of Idaho was an unlikely hero. He led congressional opposition to the Vietnam War and had become a scathing, radical critic of what he saw as American imperialism around the world. But he was still politically ambitious, privately yearning for acceptance from the foreign policy establishment that he hated and eager to run for president. Despite his flaws, Church would show historic strength in his greatest moment, when in the wake of Watergate he was suddenly tasked with investigating abuses of power in the intelligence community.

Historia
In this meticulously researched classic of the JFK conspiracy genre that Library Journal calls "sensational", Mark North argues convincingly that President John F. Kennedy died as the result of a plot masterminded by Louisiana Mafia chieftain Carlos Marcello - and, more importantly, that FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover learned early on about the plan but did nothing to stop it. Hoover warned no one - not the Dallas police, not the Secret Service. His motives, North suggests, stemmed from a fervent hatred of Kennedy and fear that the President would eventually fire him.

Historia
The Venona Files are several intercepted communiques between the Soviet Union and American Communists following WWII. Some historians and journalists are starting to regard the Cold-War-era American Communist Party as nothing more than a quaint club of polite if misguided ideologues. In The Venona Secrets, Herbert Romerstein and Eric Breindel intend to create a new impression of treacherous Americans "who willfully gave their primary allegiance to a foreign power, the USSR."

Historia
Michal Goleniewski, cover name Sniper, was one of the most important spies of the early Cold War. For two and a half years at the end of the 1950s, as a Lt. Colonel at the top of Poland’s espionage service, he smuggled more than 5,000 top-secret Soviet bloc intelligence and military documents, as well as 160 rolls of microfilm, out from behind the Iron Curtain. In January 1961, he abandoned his wife and children and made a dramatic defection across divided Berlin with his East German mistress to the safety of American territory.

In 1975, fresh out of law school and working a numbing job at the Treasury Department, John Rizzo took "a total shot in the dark" and sent his résumé to the CIA. In Company Man, Rizzo charts the CIA's evolution from shadowy entity to an organization exposed to new laws, rules, and a seemingly never-ending string of public controversies. Rizzo offers a direct window into the CIA in the years after the 9/11 attacks, when he served as the agency's top lawyer, with oversight of actions that remain the subject of intense debate today.

In American Betrayal, Diana West digs deep to uncover a body of lies that Americans have been led to regard as the near-sacred history of World War II and its Cold War aftermath. Part real-life thriller, part national tragedy, American Betrayal lights up the massive, Moscow-directed penetration of America's most hallowed halls of power.

In the long history of American demagogues from Huey Long to Donald Trump, never has one man caused so much damage in such a short time as Senator Joseph McCarthy. We still use "McCarthyism" to stand for outrageous charges of guilt by association, a weapon of polarizing slander. From 1950 to 1954, McCarthy destroyed many careers and even entire lives, whipping the nation into a frenzy of paranoia, accusation, loyalty oaths, and terror. When the public finally turned on him, he came crashing down, dying of alcoholism in 1957.

Evans and Romerstein focus on the role of secret Communist Alger Hiss at the crucial Yalta Conference of 1945, where vast U.S. concessions were made to Russia....

Criminals are allowed to roam free. Citizens are locked up. An appetite for vengeance is unleashed—to deplatform, debank, destroy. This is the daily news, yet none of it’s new.

Two-and-a-half years later, on a beach on the island of Hawaii, Cook was killed in a conflict with native Hawaiians. How did Cook, who was unique among captains for his respect for Indigenous peoples and cultures, come to that fatal moment? Hampton Sides’ bravura account of Cook’s last journey both wrestles with Cook’s legacy and provides a thrilling narrative of the titanic efforts and continual danger that characterized exploration.

One of those books that changes everything
This book offers much more than a long-overdue corrective version of McCarthy’s brief senatorial tenure. Rather, the history of the most critical early decades of the internal Cold War are carefully and clearly explained in a well-organized and compelling narrative. For me, this book has permanently changed how I look at the world, even today. Long but worth it.

Every serious student of history must read this book. The press needed a target and powers were threatened. McCarthy was doing important work and had to be stopped. When will the press pay for their shoddy and spurious reporting.

The True Joe McCarthy Story
Until most people who think they know about Joe McCarthy are gone, I fear his true story will not find many fans. If a reader of this book has very little knowledge on the subject of Joe McCarthy, that reader will look favorably on Joe McCarthy. I have over the last twenty years, learned so much about the USSR penetration of the USA’s government.
The collapse of the USSR resulted in massive amounts of its secret files being revealed. The truth about the communist influence in our institutions government and cultural during the 20th century is there to see. Few people are interested to know about it.

They Lie to You and Deceive You.
What did you love best about Blacklisted by History?
As Paul Harvey used to say "And now you know the rest of the story". Blacklisted by History gives you the "rest" of the story about Senator Joseph R. McCarthy. Yet, we will likely never know the whole story as those who hated Senator McCarthy did their best to skew it, twist it, and bury its many truths. Evans says there is so much more to uncover about it too. Yet, I am grateful for Mr. Evan's having ferreted out crucial facts about this important historical event.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked how the author, M. Stanton Evans, presented the long-held unflattering views about McCarthy in a way that you were certain McCarthy was the monster they claimed he was. And, over and over again, when you began to utterly hate McCarthy because of what the media and mostly the Democrats said about him, Evans throughly and meticulously destroys some of the biggest lies and deceptions about the Senator. The truth leaves you literally shaking your head in disbelief. McCarthy was persecuted by the most diabolical and malicious persons.
Which character – as performed by Tom Weiner – was your favorite?
The narration was superior. And I lost Weiner's voice in the rich story and details. Its tone and pace flowed evenly through the whole book while letting the text stand above it. But it was never monotonous.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Hounded to Death by Hatred.
Any additional comments?
There are forty-five chapters in this book. It is so good, and the details so rich, I don't want to forget any of them. So I am about half way through it the second time. If you want to understand how hard the media and politicians work to lie and deceive, Black Listed By History will help you do that. It will help you better understand how they continue to do it even in the era of the internet, cable news outlets, and A.M. radio. But it is much more difficult for them to get away with it because of these modern developments in communications. And I suspect that that is why modern politics is a far more hair-raising experience for more of us on the sidelines than in days past. The "shadow government" now suspected and much talked about (including the alleged "Deep State") now has to play out their political (and nonpolitical) persecutions more openly. I suspect we can track them a bit more than they would like. If you are wondering what I mean, You Tube some videos by Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik (pronounced pie'-zen'-ick). Seriously, "peace nik?"

A Great Historical Undertaking
This book in short is how propaganda becomes history. The author leaves no stone unturned in exposing the narratives and history around Joe McCarthy as fraudulent. A fraud that many Americans have accepted even to this day. A wealth of history, citations, historical Congressional record, and other events make clear as day the political motivations of those opposed to McCarthy and why they did what they did. Since this is a historical refutation, I can understand why it didn't linger too long with potentially some of McCarthy's tactical errors, especially during the Eisenhower administration, but others since publishing have pointed out. They are important factors in the events of the story as well, and the author points a few of them out, but in the whole is is a minor flaw with the book.

If you could sum up Blacklisted by History in three words, what would they be?
History set right
What did you like best about this story?
The clear original research into congressional records to ascertain truth as more important than support for a point of view. McCarthy is not presented as a saint, bot is certainly not the devil either.

Statue for Joe McCarthy
In the days of cancel culture wiping out our greatest heroes and favoring only leftists, now is the time to set the record straight. Mr. Evan’s describes exhaustive research on a subject every person in the US knows well - but knows wrong. It is a tale of deceit spun by politicians and Russian spies and their allies many of whom ran amok in the State Department and elsewhere in the US government in the 1950s and beyond.
It is with great concern that I find myself reading something so important and finding I understood the subject completely wrong. And why don’t the US textbook industry and teachers unions have it right? Is it possible that the communist network that penetrated and manipulated our government institutions also did the same in our academic institutions? Without doubt.
There is a subtle point that Mr. Evan’s did not cover completely perhaps saving it for a second book. Or perhaps it is already written. Why. Why were the vast majority of journalists and academics (Harvard features prominently in the list of Communist agents, fellow travelers and dupes) so anti-McCarthy? And I think it is worth exploring and should have been done in this book. The point is simple and should be expanded not consistent with a book review. Highly intelligent people do not like being told what their philosophies and politics should be. They naturally and aggressively defend their right to think what they choose and vote how they please. And this is as it should be. But Senator McCarthy never said otherwise. What he wanted was simple. That the government elected by a people of a particular ethos and governance (representative democracy) should operate in the employ of that people and their belief system. That government should not be run by persons that disagree with the choice of the people and for the benefit of foreign diktats or favor. To the journalists who failed us miserably to the teachers who continue to mishandle these issues, I say, the people of the USA have been gifted a miraculous system of governance and so far have chosen to continue that system. And you have no right to change that. If Americans choose to be the 26th failure of Socialism, that choice must be a homegrown American one. Not a capitulation to the will of countries who want us to fall and have used our academic freedoms against us. You may think and vote as you please. And you should thank God for a US Constitution that allows you to do so. But when you teach, you must teach the truth.
