Hattersley on Miller

DateMonday, April 24, 2006 at 4:58PM

It was then that I realised that much of what Miller thought, believed and wrote was built on patriotism - the belief in a better America than the country McCarthy had polluted.


I really enjoyed this Op-Ed from Roy Hattersley, in today’s Guardian, here. I love Arthur Miller, and especially The Crucible. I really want to catch the film Good Night, and Good Luck, which is also based in McCarthy’s America.

Tyger-

If you are interested in this period of American history, and you enjoy reading historical fiction, then I recommend you read "The Plot Against America" by Philip Roth, that is if you haven't already. Murrow is one of the main characters in the book. The plot is based on a scenario in which Charles Linbergh defeats FDR. It's a great read.
