Against the backdrop of the Cold War between the USA and the USSR , McCarthy, as the inspirer of the Commission for the Investigation of Anti-American Activities, became famous for his tenacity in the search and prosecution of "agents of the USSR." However, according to Marrow and his supporters, McCarthy violated American civil rights .
