The Life of Bertrand Russell Clark, Ronald W. Publisher:  Penguin, United Kingdom Year Published:  1975   Pages:  979pp   ISBN:  0 14 00.4475 2 Resource Type:  Book A biography of the political activist, philosopher and mathematician. Abstract:  Ronald W. Clark has constructed an informative biography of Bertrand Russell. His biography of the political activist, philosopher and mathematician is an in-depth study from personal papers, memoirs, and many additional sources. Interviewing individuals in Russell's life, Clark attempts to describe the emotional complexities behind ideas and actions. Some of the contradiction in Russell's work can be somewhat understood when considered alongside the events of his lifetime. The book encompasses Russell's entire life from his lineage to his legacy. His political activities and personal struggles are told with near-equal focus. Ideas of pacifism, non-conscription, and his phase of advocating preventive war are examined in the context of Russell's life. There are quotations from his life and unpublished works throughout the volume. These include personal letters and recollected memories. Told chronologically from upbringing to death, the book has four sections and 24 chapters. The sections are entitled The Reason Why, The New Romantic, A Long March Downhill, and the Last Attachment. They span over all of his recorded experiences and those remembered by family and friends, as well as the events in the public eye. Several photographs of Russell, his family and his work are included. An appendix provides Russell's writing about Ralph Schoenman. It can be said that "Bertrand Russel lived to inspire the campaign against nuclear warfare." He did many other things in his lifetime that make him a significant figure and a model of social activism. This book attempts to record his achievements alongside his human desires and faults.
