John McCumber - Time in the Ditch American Philosophy and the McCarthy Era - Di

[Justin Schwartz]

I've read it. It's by a Heidegger scholar, a German prof who is a refugee 
from philosophy asa a field. It's full of embarassing stories of the sort 
you can find in No Ivory Tower (Ellen Schrecker), The analysis is a little 
thin. He hasn't registered the radical origins of logical positivism. He has 
no materialist analysis. But it's worth reading.
