Description
"Wrought-Up Ether" is a book about radio business during the Cold War and the “witch hunt” in the United States. It describes the difficult times of McCarthyism, suspicion, and fear—when employees are accused of communism and the magazine threatens to expose this information. The novel tells of inner struggle, faith, and the price paid for one’s beliefs, as well as the values and difficulties of communicating them to other people. The author of the book is Irwin Shaw, who, after being accused of sympathy with communists, left the United States and lived in Europe for twenty-five years.
