About this listen

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 150 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.

Critically important history

Brilliant analysis. A hidden history uncovered and explained. Excellent narrator. Well worth your time and a credit.

For reading..

This is a book that is hard to listen to. I made it all of 3 hours before I couldn't stand it anymore. The material is so textbook dry and it starts out that way. Reading it would be much easier. It's like listening to bulletin points. Great narrator though.
