William Remington was a promising young American government official who was hounded out of office during the late 1940s by communist 'witch-hunters' under Senator Joe McCarthy. This account of the tragic events finds both the US government and Remington guilty of improprieties.

William Remington was a promising young US government official who, like so many others, was hounded out of office during the late 1940s and early 1950s by communist 'witch-hunters' under Senator Joe McCarthy. In this comprehensive study, the author finds the government guilty of many improprieties, but also finds that Remington was probably guilty of both espionage and perjury. This is the story of a tragic life in a tragic time, and should be of interest to all those studying the era of McCarthyism.
