An anthology of I.F. Stone's articles from 1967 - 1970.
Abstract: The major issues in the United States in the late 1960s are explored in this anthology of I.F. Stone's articles from 1967 - 1970. These include the Vietnam war, the social unrest in the nation, the conflict in the Middle East and the nature of the American political system, amongst many others. Divided into twelve sections, the book contains chapters with titles like "Why Not Timbuktoo or Easter Island?," "It Wasn't for Lack of Spies That the Czars Fell," "How the U.S. plays Out a Banana Republic Comedy in Greece," and "Nixon in the Footsteps of Popeye's Elder Statesman." It is an in-depth look into the situation of that time from Stone's point of view.
I.F. Stone was a reporter, editorial writer and columnist on the Philadelphia Record, PM, the New York Post, the Washington Star and the New York Daily Compass. He was Washington editor of The Nation from 1940-1946 and then published his own newsletter, I.F. Stone's Weekly.
