In "The Lavender Scare," historian David K. Johnson explores how Senator Joseph McCarthy's campaign against suspected communists intertwined with fears of a "homosexual menace" during Cold War America. By examining newly declassified documents and interviews with former officials, Johnson reveals how these unfounded beliefs influenced government policy, devastated lives, and set the stage for a new civil rights movement. This award-winning work highlights the lasting impact of McCarthyism on contemporary sexual politics in the United States.
