Four American Political Trials
The Hollywood 10, the Rosenbergs, and the McCarthy cases represent turning points in our nation’s struggle to retain a Constitutional Democracy. We will examine these cases in light of our current political situation. So too we will examine the impact of the career of Roy Cohn on these cases and as a mentor to Donald Trump.
