Arthur Miller’s Crucible: An Outcome of Egregious Malignancies by Rabiya Aamir

Abstract

In his twenty-third lecture titled ‘The Coils of War’, Professor Stanley K Shultz writes about the cold war between America and
Soviet Union that: In the immediate aftermath of World War II, the United States took a turn to economic, political, and even psychological rights. Nothing demonstrated this better than the Second Red Scare, which was known popularly as McCarthyism. The trials, denouncements, blacklists, and paranoia about Communism in the Second Red Scare showed the public face of the Cold War. The Cold War--the struggle between the Soviet Union and the United States--transformed anti-communism from a right-wing to a mainstream ideology.
