RaveLos Angeles Review of BooksTye’s journalistic chops are on full display here. Most notably, he gained exclusive access to McCarthy’s private papers, housed at Marquette University, the alma mater of his subject. This was a scholarly breakthrough ... a welcome dose of nuance to our understanding of a man who is largely known by the \'ism\' that bears his name ... new details abound ... Do any of these revelations fundamentally change how we should think about McCarthy? Probably not. But Tye has produced a compelling and rich biography that will become the new authoritative text on its subject ... a welcome reassessment of McCarthy for the Age of Trump.
