could get on it by being amember of the Communist Party.
Or by having friends or relatives who were in the Communist
Party. Simply being controversial could get you on the list. One
professor got on it just
because
his wife ran away with a man who
had been associated with Julius Rosenberg.
Here are the true stories of dozens of professors who confronted
the same dilemmas as their counterparts in Hollywood when the
anti-Communist furor swept the nation: a distinguished classicist fired
from Rutgers fled to England where his scholarship earned
him
a
knighthood ... a prominent physicist at Cornell, now the Book Review
Editor of a major science magazine, refused to abandon his civil
liberties stance and barely survived years of inquisition ...and many
others who ended up being forced to abandon their academic
careers or flee abroad.
For as
this
book shows for the first time, the academy did not fight
McCarthyism; it contributed to it.
