- Title
- The Anna Rosenberg Incident; 1976
- Description
- Baker's 1976 paper, the "Anna Rosenberg Incident" details the controversial Senate hearing of Anna M. Rosenberg, nominated for Assistant Secretary of Defense in 1950. Amidst McCarthyism, she faced false accusations of Communist ties, primarily from Ralph De Sola, a self-proclaimed ex-Communist. Despite De Sola's firm accusations, no evidence supported his claims, and investigations, including FBI involvement, refuted them. Rosenberg's integrity was upheld, highlighting the paranoia and injustice characterizing the McCarthy era.
