This vintage 1977 paperback, “McCarthy: The Answer to ‘Tail Gunner Joe'” by Roy Cohn, offers a direct response to the controversial NBC-TV documentary ‘Tail Gunner Joe.’ Written by Joseph McCarthy’s chief legal advisor, Roy Cohn, the book presents a unique historical and personal perspective, challenging what Cohn describes as a misleading and revisionist account of McCarthy’s era. It delves into the political climate of the 1950s and aims to set the record straight from the viewpoint of someone who knew McCarthy best. A fascinating read for anyone interested in American political history, the McCarthy era, or media criticism.
