| Sumario: | "The "Red scare" of the 1950s created a national crisis that challenged concepts of loyalty and freedom of speech in every corner of American society. The crisis was especially problematic in American universities, where traditions of academic freedom were at odds with political issues growing out of the Cold War. The University of Nevada in Reno was no exception." "J. Dee Kille's account of the crisis "on the hill" records a critical period in Nevada's recent history and serves as a powerful case study of the devastating impact of McCarthyism and its atmosphere of suspicion and repression on one American-university campus during this turbulent era in the nation's history."--Jacket |
