Description:

America in the 1950s may seem like a halcyon time, but Tricky Dick and the Pink Lady, a lively account of the 1950 race for the Senate in California, shows just how raucous and divided the nation was as it entered the decade. Two prominent members of Congress, a former actress and ardent liberal, Helen Gahagan Douglas, and future president Richard M. Nixon, waged a vicious and often dirty fight in the election. The entire nation paid attention as Nixon smeared Douglas as a Communist, claiming she was "pink right down to her underwear." Greg Mitchell provides a well-written account of the race that would forever define Nixon in the minds of many.
