Overview

Mention McCarthyism and most people think of the Hollywood blacklist. In fact, tens of thousands of ordinary people's lives were destroyed by what amounted to an American Inquisition. Paul was an electrician who couldn't work for 20 years because of one joke. Frank was followed for 38 years by up to eight FBI agents a day despite admitting he was not a security risk. Now that the Cold War is over, they and others can tell their full stories for the first time. Part 2 of 3.
