Winner of the National Book Award: The definitive history of Joe McCarthy, the Hollywood blacklist, and HUAC explores the events behind the hit film Trumbo. Drawing on interviews with over one hundred and fifty people who were called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee?including Elia Kazan, Ring Lardner Jr., and Arthur Miller?award-winning author Victor S. Navasky reveals how and why the blacklists were so effective and delves into the tragic and far-reaching consequences of Joseph McCarthy?s witch hunts. A compassionate, insightful, and even-handed examination of one of our country?s darkest hours,?Naming Names?is at once a morality play and a fascinating window onto a searing moment in American cultural and political history. ?
