But Lattimore never worked at State. This was McCarthy's template: tales too good to check, in such volume media couldn't keep up. McCarthy made wild claims against a man few knew, then scrambled for something resembling proof, aided by mysterious right wing funds. Lattimore's stand against the lies sparked a Senate vote labeling McCarthy a hoax. The Man Who Lost China is the first in depth examination of one man's struggle and survival against anti communist hysteria. View more details
