ONLINE: Larry Tye
Lisa Frusztajer
Larry Tye, former "Boston Globe" reporter turned nonfiction author.
Former Boston Globe reporter Larry Tye has covered a wide range of topics in his books, from PR pioneer Edward Bernays to baseball pioneer Satchel Paige (the excellent 2009 biography Satchel: The Life and Times of an American Legend). His latest book examines a legend of a much different sort, and one with Wisconsin ties (unfortunately). Demagogue: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joseph McCarthy offers another look at an oft-caricatured Cold War era villain, as Tye gained access to previously sealed McCarthy documents both professional and personal. He'll discuss the book via Crowdcast at this Wisconsin Book Festival event.
