At the height of his power, Senator Joseph McCarthy seemed unstoppable. However, his downfall would come from an unexpected place—the U.S. Army. Follow the dramatic escalation of McCarthy's anti-communist campaign in 1953 and how his crusade collided with the military, leading to televised hearings that captivated the nation. The narrative is further intensified by Edward R. Murrow's iconic broadcast, in which he critiques McCarthy's methods, marking a significant shift in public perception. The chaotic political landscape showcases the interplay of power, media, and accountability, marking the beginning of the end for one of the most controversial figures in American political history.
