Larry Tye, author of Demagogue, a biography of Joe McCarthy

Join us for a pre-DNC event with the author of Bobby Kennedy and Satchel, who talks about DEMAGOGUE: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joe McCarthy, based on frist-ever review of his personal and professional papers, medical and military records, and recently unsealed transcripts of his closed door Congressional hearings.

Booklist's starred review of Demagogue notes that "for many contemporary readers, Joseph McCarthy is a done and dusted relic for the history books, but Tye brings him back to ferocious life... This is a must-read biography for anyone fascinated by American history, and every reader will blanch at its events' resemblances to today's fraught political conflicts."

Larry Tye is also author of Superman, The Father of Spin, and Rising from the Rails. He has been an award-winning reporter at the Boston Globe, and was also a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University.

Registration for this event is at larrytye.bpt.me. Folks who register and attend this event will get 10% off the price of Demagogue. For this special event, Boswell will be open until 8 pm.
