xvi, 350 pages ; 25 cm. "I. F. Stone was a reporter, a radical, and idealist, a scholar and, it is clear, a writer whose insights have 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 rights of minorities; economic fairness; social justice; and the dangers of American militarism abroad."
