About
It’s easy to forget, with popular new histories about distant eras, just how influential recent history is. Clay Risen’s “Red Scare” tells the story of McCarthyism after World War II, based in part on recently declassified sources, and Paul Elie’s “The Last Supper” paints a vivid group portrait of influential pop culture figures in the 1980s. Moderated by Kevin Butterfield. Sponsor: Kluge Center.
