Joseph McCarthy [View all]

I have a question about Joseph McCarthy. Did he achieve anything of note after he was censuree in 1954?

Even though I was only three at the time, I have always traced my interest in politics back to that moment. Lately, I have become intensely interested in what happened to him after censure. I know that he remained a senator for another three years until he died. What did he accomplish anything?
I know there are a biographiesi, some of them quite cheap. Reading anything in book form is impossible for me. I'm reluctant to spemd the outlandish price for audiobooks on him. And Google has been help at all. So I turm to you all. Does anybody know?
