Böcker av Richard H. Rovere

?Mr. Rovere's book ranges widely over the contemporary scene and includes perceptive studies of Justice Holmes, Wendell Willkie, Harold Ickes, Ezra Pound, George Orwell. One particularly acute and sober study of the power problem, The Interlocking Overlappers, obviously first put the author on the track of the Establishment. Astute, scholarly, and witty throughout, Mr. Rovere is one of the most refreshing political commentators we now have.?-Atlantic Monthly

The story of Senator Joseph McCarthy's rise to unprecedented power and the decline of his influence is a dramatic one. This title documents the process by which a clever, power hungry individual came to mislead and manipulate members of Congress and the American public and to damage countless lives.
