At the cusp of the Cold War, Americans were so afraid of communists living among them that they began to hunt them like witches. As Senator Joe McCarthy took up this mantle to hunt down "communists" in the U.S., citizens grew terrified of being accused, so they turned on each other--pointing fingers at neighbors, friends, and even family. Told through a unique and inviting screenplay-format, brought to life with dozens of illustrations by Tim Foley, and comprised almost entirely of quotes derived from primary sources, Witch Hunt recounts the political craze that gripped America during the Red Scare when McCarthyism forced people to go to extraordinary lengths to keep themselves and their families safe from persecution against their own government"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 10-14 $b Roaring Brook Press 521 $a Grades 7-9 $b Roaring Brook Press 650 0 $a Anti-communist movements $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 600 10 $a McCarthy, Joseph, $d 1908-1957 $v Juvenile literature. 610 20 $a United States. $b Committee on Un-American Activities $b House. $b Committee on Un-American Activities $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Subversive activities $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Cold War $v Juvenile literature. $9 93498 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Levy, Elizabeth, $d 1942- $e author. 700 1 $a Foley, Tim, $d 1962- $e illustrator. $9 186671 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240206010500.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=870B83AEC4BD11EEB847D6DA21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
