Izzy Stone was a reporter, a radical, an idealist, a
scholar and, it is clear, a writer whose insights have
more than stood the test of time. More than fifteen years
after his death, this collection of his work from I.F.
Stone's Weekly and elsewhere is astonishing in its
relevance to our age, addressing the clash between
national security and individual liberty, the protection
of minorities, economic fairness, social justice, and the
American military abroad.
The core of Stone's genius was his newsletter, I.F.
Stone's Weekly, published from the mid-1950s to the early
1970s. His meticulous dissection of the news was
unsurpassed, a direct descendent of the great pamphleteers
like Thomas Paine, and a forerunner to the best of today's
political blogs. Stone's brilliant, investigative
reporting; his wonderful, impassioned style; and his
commitment to his values all make this collection an
inspiration, and a revelation.
