  • "Examines the man whose name has become synonymous with the blacklisting fervor of The Cold War and provides an overview of the 1954 Army-McCarthy hearings where Roy Cohn was at McCarthy's side against Joe Welch, Special Counsel for the U.S. Army."
  • "A political documentary without narration of the Army-McCarthy Hearings of 1954. For 36 days in 1954, the Army-McCarthy Hearings brought an unusual kind of political theatre into the homes of millions of Americans - an inquisitorial spectacle played for live TV by lawyers like Army counsel, Joseph Welch and leaders of the right like Senator McCarthy. The film presents the highlights of the historic hearings from 188 hours of kinescopes."
  • "For five incredible weeks in 1954 during the Army-McCarthy hearings, millions of Americans tuned in to watch as U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy's crusade to expose Communist subversion in the U.S. Army, backfired against the pressure of televised media. With Roy Cohn at his side, McCarthy's innuendos and unsubstantiated claims against the Army were no match for Army Special Counsel, Joe Welch. The meek and mild spoken Welch unmasked McCarthyism and further pushed Joe McCarthy into political oblivion."

  • "Assembled over a three year period from 190 hours of footage of the televised U.S. Army-McCarthy hearings, this is more than just a compilation of found material. It is constructed as a probing drama, without commentary, into the nature of McCarthyism. Although de Antonio saw the central theme as the fall of a demagogue he was intent on going beyond personalities to allow the issues to evolve. At least one commentator has noted uncanny foreshadowing of the Watergate hearings when McCarthy warns of the dangers in the right to executive secrecy invoked by Eisenhower. De Antonio saw no heroes or villains. He found that the attorney Joseph Welch used some McCarthyist techniques in order to discredit McCarthy."@en
