Acheson was a target of Senator [[Joseph McCarthy]]'s attacks, primarily over the "loss" of [[China]] to communism - which McCarthy attributed to State Department subversion - and over Acheson's refusal to condemn former State Department official Alger Hiss following Hiss's conviction for perjury in connection with Soviet espionage. McCarthy called Acheson's State Department a "Dean Acheson College of Cowardly Communist Containment."
After leaving government, Acheson returned to law practice and remained influential in Democratic foreign policy circles, advising subsequent administrations informally. He won the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1970 for *Present at the Creation*. He died at Sandy Spring, Maryland, on October 12, 1971.
