MS2 in the comments to COL Lang's recent post about Marshall asked about where to go to get started reading about these things. In regards to the Senator McCarthy material I highly recommend Oshinsky's biography entitled A Conspiracy So Immense: The World of Joe McCarthy. I found it very easy to read, well researched, and the author, clearly dealing with a controversial subject, actually manages to show Senator McCarthy's humanity while clearly articulating how far off the rails he had gone.
The transcript for the Army/McCarthy Hearings can be found at this link.
