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. His chaotic, meteoric rise is a gripping and terrifying object lesson for us all. Yet his equally sudden fall from fame offers hope that, given the rope, most American demagogues eventually hang themselves. Only now, through best-selling author Larry Tye's look at the senator's records, can the full story be told.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLARRY TYE is the best-selling author of \u003ci\u003eBobby Kennedy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSatchel, \u003c\/i\u003eas well as \u003ci\u003eSuperman, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Father of Spin, Home Lands, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Rising from the Rails, \u003c\/i\u003eand coauthor, with Kitty Dukakis, of \u003ci\u003eShock\u003c\/i\u003e.
