In December of 1953, Senator Joseph R. McCarthy was given to read the galleys of McCarthy and His Enemies, by William F. Buckley and L. Brent Bozell, which would be published the following March by the Henry Regnery Company of Chicago. Senator McCarthy reported back that he found the book to be hypercritical and that some of his friends thought it would do him net damage. Henry Regnery sent a set of galleys, along with the Senator’s comments, to his friend Whittaker Chambers, who replied: Jan. 14, 1954
Dear Henry,
