Contents Description:

For some, the McCarthy era was the worst of times. In 1956, John Henry Faulk was a popular radio and television personality, host of his own radio program on WCBS in New York. And then he publicly challenged AWARE, Inc., an ultrapatriotic group ingaged in systematically blacklisting entertainment personalities for their alleged subversive views. In response, and AWARE bulletin accused Faulk himself of subversive associations. Angry and frightened by this unjust accusation, Faulk brought suit against AWARE, charging conspiracy to libel him and to destroy his career. Thus ensued one of the great civil rights cases of this century. - from the back cover
