McCarthy's “paranoid style” and anti‐British sentiment manifested from a longer tradition of Midwestern resentment. Although t…

Like its counterpart in the United States, British McCarthyism not only attacked internal ‘reds’ but also non‐communist elements within the nation's borders. The phenomenon denounced and accused governmental and societal institutions and individuals for tolerating and even abetting the communis…
