has a citation describing what kind of information you will find there.
(Hint: It is not necessary to capitalize when searching. Search, for example, korean war. Some other search terms to use are cold war, whittaker chambers, alger hiss, rosenberg trial, the crucible, hollywood blacklisting, house un-american activities committee. By adding the word “and” in your search, you narrow it. For example, Truman and communism, will link President Truman to the Truman Doctrine, which had to do with his stance on communism.)
