Currently Playing: McCarthyism and the Red Scare Revisited

Our historical documentary series on the history of the Cold War continues with a return look to the topic of McCarthyism and the Second Red Scare, examining the methods used to create fear and a culture of self-censorship. We examine the case of Owen Latimore and how even the end of Senator McCarthy did not mean a reprieve from the effects of the hunt he had started. We also darw some parallels from the past to the present.
