Summary
Pulitzer-Prize winner Haynes Johnson boldly revisits the anti-communist hysteria of the McCarthy era to examine parallels today in this new age of terror and threat. A mix of narrative history, political commentary, and contemporary reporting, The age of anxiety is also a deeply personal story. Johnson's father, Malcolm Johnson, whose articles on terrorism and murder won a Pulitzer Prize and were the basis for the movie On the waterfront, had his life turned upside down by charges during the McCarthy era that he was a communist.
