"Witch Hunt" is a book about the injustice faced by Americans during the Cold War. This time period was also known as the "Red Scare" because America was afraid of communists in their midst. During the Red Scare, white supremacy was very much going strong and many black men who had fought in the war were not honored for helping defeat the Allied forces. Many black people were injured and killed during this time. To help us gain an understanding of how this happened the book gives a deep dive into the politics behind this time period. One person who was responsible for many events in this book was Senator Joe McCarthy. McCarthy led the search for communists in America, which destroyed countless lives. This book shows what was a time in the history of our country where many American's rights were violated.
