Treason in Washington Exposed by Senator McCarthy 1950
The campaign against Communism in the United States is linked forever with the name of Senator Joe McCarthy. “Treason in Washington Exposed by Senator McCarthy” is an example of McCarthy's attacks on his perceived enemy. As stated by the publisher on the cover, “This book contains the super-sensational speech by Senator Joe McCarthy made on the floor of the United States Senate. This speech will go down in history as one of the ten most courageous speeches ever made in Congress. Newspapers were afraid to quote it for fear of revenge reprisals from unseen forces.” The booklet also contains an introduction by Gerald L. K. Smith.
The speech is contained in a 128-page booklet, in paper covers, that measures approximately 5 ½ x 7 ¾ inches. It was published by the Christian Nationalist Crusade in 1950. The publisher indicates that “The contents of this book, as pertains to Senator McCarthy's speech, have been quoted verbatim as he delivered his speech on the floor of the United States Senate. The reprint is without the Senator's consent or knowledge on the assumption that all speeches made in the Senate are public property.” The pages of the booklet are slightly tanned, but otherwise the item is in very good condition.
The illustrations accompanying this description show the booklet’s front cover, the first page of the Introduction, and the first page of the speech.
Joseph Raymond "Joe" McCarthy (November 14, 1908 – May 2, 1957) was an American politician who served as a Republican U. S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957. Beginning in 1950, McCarthy became the most visible public face of a period in which Cold War tensions fueled fears of widespread Communist subversion. He was noted for making claims that there were large numbers of Communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers inside the United States federal government and elsewhere. Ultimately, his tactics and inability to substantiate his claims led him to be censured by the United States Senate. [Wikipedia]
Gerald Lyman Kenneth Smith (February 27, 1898 – April 15, 1976) was an American clergyman and political organizer, who became a leader of the Share Our Wealth movement during the Great Depression and later the Christian Nationalist Crusade. He founded the America First Party in 1944, for which he was a presidential candidate in the election that year. [Wikipedia]
