Publisher's Synopsis

In the mid-20th century, at the cusp of the Cold War, some Americans were so afraid of communists living among them that they began to hunt them like witches. As McCarthy took up this mantle to hunt down communists in the US, people became so afraid of being accused they turned on each other - pointing fingers at neighbours, friends, and even family. Told through Andrea and Liz's signature screenplay format, 'Witch Hunt' recounts the political craze that gripped America during the Red Scare when McCarthyism forced people to go to extraordinary lengths to keep themselves and their families safe from persecution against their own government.
