Editorial Reviews
Review
"America, please read this book."
-Glenn Beck
"the greatest book since the Bible"
-Ann Coulter, Creators Syndicate
"It takes M. Stanton Evans's meticulous investigative journalism to show what Joe McCarthy's short stay on the national stage (a little under five years, from February 1950 to December 1954) really was about."
-Robert Novak, Weekly Standard
"So comprehensive is Evans's research that it will be a foolish historian who does not consult Blacklisted by History when a question arises over some person or event that comes into the McCarthy story."
-John Earl Haynes, co-author, Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America
"This book will change forever how you think about Sen. McCarthy and the Soviet penetration of the U.S. government and society."
-Bob McMahan, Foreign Service Journal
"Evans goes through extensive files and transcripts with complete mastery of complex material and an engaging turn of phrase that makes more than 600 pages of painstaking analysis both a triumph of historical scholarship and a gripping detective story."
-David Ashton, The Salisbury Review
"Of the hundreds of books on the McCarthy era, Stan Evans has written the best—a nuanced, incredibly detailed work of scholarship."
-William Schulz, The American Spectator
"In this masterful instant classic, M. Stanton Evans sets out to tell the 'Untold Story of Joe McCarthy' and does so definitively."
-Jack Cashill, WorldNetDaily
"This is a master newspaperman at work: digging, interviewing the record, pulling apart and putting together the details of deeds done mostly by the politicians who ran our imperfect national government in the nineteen fifties."
-John Willson, Chronicles
"After combing through masses of declassified documents from Congress, the FBI, the State Department and other federal agencies, Stan Evans has produced a masterpiece of tru th."
-Terry Jeffrey, Human Events
"Evans, a veteran journalist, doesn't shout. He displays, instead, a deadly meticulousness that is, at last, overwhelmingly convincing."
-William Rusher, United Features Syndicate
"the most thorough scholarly examination of [McCarthy's] career"
-Cliff Kincaid, Accuracy In Media
"brilliantly documented"
-Wes Vernon, RenewAmerica.us
"monumental ... the result of six years of reading primary sources. Evans proves that almost everything about McCarthy in current history books is a lie and wil l have to be revised.... one of Reagan's old radio commentaries referred to Evans as 'a very fine journalist.' He is, indeed, but this book shows that he also is a Sherlock Holmes-type detective who chased every clue to find the truth and to write accurate history in elegant prose..... Everyone who henceforth writes about Joe McCarthy will have to check his facts with Evans' documented discoveries."

This book is one of my favorites because it effectively destroys cultural mythology with tangible, visible, solid facts from that time. It is stunning to read how politicians and bureaucrats care more about their prestige than they do about ending corruption and how they care more about the establishment system than about stopping top secret information from getting to murderous Communists. And it's stunning to read how they did everything they accused McCarthy of doing. This book goes in great detail, describing each and every issue regarding so-called McCarthyism and what was truly going on behind the scenes. After a while, you start to realize that the real definition of McCarthyism is the attempt to stop a man from exposing and eliminating mass government corruption. If you like to learn about what Sen. McCarthy did and how he tried to clean up our national government on a mass scale, and how he was harassed and hated by the bigotry and deception of journalists and establishment politicians, you'll enjoy this book. And if you love to destroy cultural myths and delusions, you'll greatly enjoy reading how so many so-called historians, journalists, educators and others have seriously deceived themselves and many in the public into believing shoddy research, fake reports and propaganda created to justify the Establishment's self-adoration and to falsify what McCarthy did and didn't do. What McCarthy did was not wrong, sinful, unethical or even insulting. He was merely the messenger of previously-revealed FBI information about spies and potential spies which was being illegally ignored at the expense of human lives. Few people have the patience he had in seeking to fix this great evil. This book is super-enlightening in depicting how far he went in reducing government corruption and how far many politicians, bureaucrats and journalists went in stopping him. If McCarthyism is an evil witch hunt, it wasn't caused by McCarthy. This is a superb book and thoroughly researched. I bet that critics can only attack this book by personal insults and trivial errors, not by facts, as Commies and Pinkos always do.

This book is quite an eye opener to events both past and present. While the term “Deep State” isn’t used anywhere in the book, it is none the less on full display. “Blacklisted By History” does a great job of clearing Joe McCarthy’s name and exposing the hit job historians and the media perpetrated on him. Think things in Washington DC are any different now?
I suggest reading the “Verona Secrets” by Herbert Romerstein and Eric Breindel, just to get a compass to help guide you through the many spies, sympathizer and fellow travelers.
I was impressed with Joe McCarthy. Very intelligent, with a photographic memory. While quite disorganized he was still able to multitask and generally stay ahead of his foes. He had friends in high places, the Kennedys, and enemies in his own party.
The book does leave a few questions unanswered. Why were Roosevelt and Truman so eager to placate the Russians? Why was is so important to not only cover up the Soviet infiltration of our government, but to keep known spies in place? And, why was there a push to make China a communist country?

The communists have a long-time policy of smearing someone, even if the person has been dead for ever. That is what they have been doing to Senator McCarthy ever since they ran into him. This book sets the real record straight about him. He was a true patriot, and this book should be read by anyone interested in what was happening with the Reds earlier on.
I heard McCarthy speak in 1951, and he was really dynamic, one of the two best speakers that I ever heard in my life. The author has been around in the pro-American, conservative side for decades, and writes only the truth.

Senator Joseph McCarthy saved the United States of America. The senator's reward was that his good name is now linked to the villains of history. This book provides an example of the saying: "No good deed goes unpunished". God bless Senator Joseph McCarthy.

Good read, but I think some of the other players in this book should of had more detail into their backgrounds to give a better picture of what McCarthy was actually up against. Sad that the government had been that filled with subversive communists at that time. Proves one thing, McCarthy was right.

An extraordinarily detailed and exhaustive account of one of modern history’s most sustained and relentless political smear campaigns ever waged against an American patriot and hero. This is the story of the Joe McCarthy hearings. We all know how the Liberal Left has mocked, ridiculed and denigrated Joseph McCarthy. Mr. Evans has painstakingly assembled a much more accurate and truthful picture of exactly what Joseph McCarthy was really up against and the forces that wanted to destroy him both politically and personally. Thanks to Mr. Evans work and the release of the Venona Files we can now see and say with great confidence that Joseph McCarty has at last been vindicated! Blacklisted By History reads like a first rate detective novel. For anyone who wants to get past the wall of lies and propaganda that the Left has been generating now for decades about Joseph McCarthy this book is a must read. Five stars out of five stars!

Quoting Pat Buchanan: "Witch hunt? The FDR and Truman administrations were shot through with treason. Alger Hiss, who was with FDR at Yalta and Truman in San Francisco when the U.N. was founded, was a Stalinist spy, exposed by Whittaker Chambers and Rep. Richard Nixon. Harry Dexter White, Treasury’s No. 2, who pushed the infamous Morgenthau Plan to turn Germany into a pastureland, was a Soviet agent, as was White House aide Laughlin Currie and State’s Laurence Duggan, whose treason was confirmed by the VENONA decrypts of Soviet cables in 1995. William Remington at Commerce was convicted of perjury for denying his ties to a spy ring. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for their role in betraying the secrets of the atom bomb."

Only those who want to read the truth and connect to the reality that political progressives in the U.S. and liberals, NDP, and greeners in Canada are really their own very destructive brand of marxist. Joeseph McCarthy had it write, and he tried to fight the good fight, but evil won the day, and now the small majority is using tactics like poltical correctness to brainwash our freedom away.
