From the book jacket:In January, 1953, the month Senator Joseph McCarthy became chairman of a Senate investigating committee for the first time, I. F. Stone-former Washington reporter for PM, The Nation, the New York Star, and the Daily Compass-launched a unique experiment: a crusading one-man weekly dedicated to the uncompromising defense of the Bill of Rights and the outspoken championship of peace. He proved that freedom of the press was still possible in some of America\'s darkest years, and built his weekly into a respected and successful publication-a vital organ of dissent.
THE HAUNTED FIFTIES is a collection of Mr. Stone\'s most important writing in the first decade of his journal. His pages combine the fresh impact of history with the discerning perspective of an urbane and cultivated mind. Moreover, Mr. Stone has visited the world\'s capitals in times when Moscow, Berlin, Geneva, and Havana were headline news, and brought back behind-the-scenes information for his readers.
