Book excerpt: Joseph McCarthy was not yet a household name in 1950 when Owen Lattimore was labeled by the senator from Wisconsin as the “top Russian espionage agent in the country.” Lattimore, in Kabul, Afghanistan, learned about the accusation a week later. Having already lost valuable time to rebut the smear, he succinctly cabled back that the charge was “pure moonshine,” and returned to the United States to defend his good name. He soon dared McCarthy to utter his slander in a venue other than the Senate, where congressional immunity shielded him from lawsuits, but he refused to do so. Following a torturous Senate inquisition, Lattimore published this riveting book which he wrote in white-hot indignation. Judged at the time to be “a masterpiece of factual exposition [and] a social document of first-rate importance,”* this absorbing narrative chronicles how the ordeal threw Lattimore’s life into perilous straits, and how he defended himself, while undermining the credibility of his accusers. In a battle for his very liberty, Lattimore prepared for the equivalent of an alley fight with the brawling senator. His supremely competent wife, Eleanor, was his trusted aide; along with attorney Abe Fortas they drew out of Lattimore’s writings passages that would prove his loyalty. Yet, as a scholar who was accustomed to nuanced interpretations of current affairs, his accusers were able to conflate the same writings into a traitor’s hidden agenda. Ordeal by Slander was the first great book to come out of the McCarthy era, and it remains a supremely topical book for today. “A tremendously stirring, human drama.”—The Atlantic Monthly “A disturbing and illuminating book.”—The New Yorker

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Other topics include the long-distance debate carried on over international radio between Hitler and Franklin D. Roosevelt; understanding and interpreting World War II propaganda; domestic radio following the war and the use of Abraham Lincoln narratives as vehicles for American propaganda; the influence of foreign policy agents Dean Acheson, Paul Nitze, and George Kennan; and the rhetoric of former presidents John F.

  • Author : Dayna L. Barnes
  • Publisher : Cornell University Press
  • Release : 2017-03-07
  • ISBN : 1501707833
  • Pages : 320 pages

Download or read book Architects of Occupation written by Dayna L. Barnes and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Allied occupation of Japan is remembered as the "good occupation." An American-led coalition successfully turned a militaristic enemy into a stable and democratic ally. Of course, the story was more complicated, but the occupation did forge one of the most enduring relationships in the postwar world. Recent events, from the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan to protests over American bases in Japan to increasingly aggressive territorial disputes between Asian nations over islands in the Pacific, have brought attention back to the subject of the occupation of Japan.In Architects of Occupation, Dayna L. Barnes exposes the wartime origins of occupation policy and broader plans for postwar Japan. She considers the role of presidents, bureaucrats, think tanks, the media, and Congress in policymaking. Members of these elite groups came together in an informal policy network that shaped planning. Rather than relying solely on government reports and records to understand policymaking, Barnes also uses letters, memoirs, diaries, and manuscripts written by policymakers to trace the rise and spread of ideas across the policy network. The book contributes a new facet to the substantial literature on the occupation, serves as a case study in foreign policy analysis, and tells a surprising new story about World War II.

Book Ordeal by Slander

Download or read book Ordeal by Slander written by Owen Lattimore and published by Greenwood Publishing Group. This book was released on 1971 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Joseph McCarthy was not yet a household name in March 1950 when the rogue senator smeared Owen Lattimore as the "top Russian espionage agent in the country." Lattimore, a scholar of Asian studies, learned about the accusation a week later while traveling in Afghanistan. Fearing that he had already lost valuable time to rebut the smear, Lattimore succinctly cabled the Associated Press "McCarthy's rantings pure moonshine," and returned to the United States to defend his good name." "A few months later - following a torturous Senate inquisition detailed here - Lattimore published Ordeal by Slander, the first great book to emerge from the McCarthy era. It is a gripping read, as important today as it was in the summer of 1950. Lattimore wrote it in a white heat, indignant that he, or any loyal citizen, could see his patriotism questioned. It was immediately reviewed in more than sixteen periodicals - a critic in the San Francisco Chronicle judged "Americans owe it to Lattimore - and even more to themselves - to get the story here." The book quickly became a bestseller, going through five printings that summer. In a battle for his very liberty, Lattimore's narrative chronicled his defense and how he undermined his accusers."--BOOK JACKET.
