DESCRIPTION:Raymond Caballero will discuss his new book McCarthyism vs. Clinton Jencks. 
 For twenty years after World War II, the national fear over communism 
 generated such anxiety that Communist Party members and many left-wing 
 Americans lost the laws’ protections. \n \nJencks, a decorated war hero, 
 adopted as his own the Mexican American fight for equal rights in New 
 Mexico’s mining industry. In 1950 he led a local of the International 
 Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers in the famed Empire Zinc strike, 
 in which wives and mothers replaced strikers on the picket line after an 
 injunction barred the miners themselves. Three years after the strike, 
 Jencks was arrested and charged with falsely denying that he was a 
 Communist and was sentenced to five years in prison. \n\nIn McCarthyism vs. 
 Clinton Jencks, Caballero reveals for the first time that the FBI and the 
 prosecution knew all along that Clinton Jencks was innocent. The tale of 
 Jencks’s quest for justice provides a fresh glimpse into the McCarthy 
 era’s oppression, which irrevocably damaged the lives, careers, and 
 reputations of thousands of Americans.\n\nRaymond Caballero is an 
 independent historian whose research has long focused on Mexico, especially 
 the Mexican Revolution. He is the author of Orozco: The Life and Death of a 
 Mexican Revolutionary.\n
