The war against Communism and Joseph McCarthy’s place in it are the focus of a series of three lessons examining postwar America from 1945-1950. This first lesson asks groups to read an introduction that describes the Verona Project and to examine excerpts from FBI memos on the project. Each group then researches an assigned suspect and shares their findings with the class. The lesson ends with a reenactment of the Rosenberg trial and a vote on their innocence or guilt.
