Book Description

Popular Front columnist and New Deal propagandist.  Fearless opponent of McCarthyism and feared scourge of official liars.  Enterprising, independent reporter and avid amateur classicist.  As D.D. Guttenplan puts it in his compelling book, I.F. Stone did what few in his profession could—he always thought for himself. America's most celebrated investigative journalist himself remains something of a mystery, however. Born Isidor Feinstein in Philadelphia, raised in rural New Jersey, by the age of 25 this college drop-out was already an influential newsman, and enjoying extraordinary access to key figures in New Deal Washington and the friendship of important artists in New York.It is Guttenplan’s wisdom to see that the key to Stone’s achievements throughout his singular career—and not just in his celebrated I.F. Stone’s Weekly—lay in the force and passion of his political commitments. Stone’s calm, forensic, yet devastating reports on American politics and institutions sprang from a radical faith in the long-term prospects for American democracy. His testimony on the legacy of American politics from the New Deal and World War II to the era of the civil rights struggles, the Vietnam War, and beyond amounts to as vivid a record of those times as we are likely to have. Guttenplan's lively, provocative book makes clear why so many of his pronouncements have acquired the force of prophecy.

The narrator's voices are so engaging, it's like having a personal storytelling session. Audiobook excellence simplified – this app's functionality is a true delight. ListenBook is my go-to app for audiobooks. It's like having a personal assistant for my literary adventures. An average audiobook experience. Nothing was wrong with it—the narration was fine, and the story was okay—but nothing particularly stood out. It served its purpose as entertainment during my commute. Not the best audiobook I've heard but far from the worst. The production quality was good and there were no major issues with the narration.

The auto-rewind feature is a small detail that enhances my listening experience. It's these thoughtful touches that matter! Good for background listening. I didn’t get fully immersed, but it was pleasant enough to have on while doing chores. The narrator’s voice was easy to listen to, even if the delivery lacked some energy. Fairly enjoyable, but forgettable. I didn’t have any major complaints, but I also don’t see myself revisiting this one. It was a decent way to spend a few hours, though.

ListenBook's library organization keeps my audiobooks neat and accessible. A true organizational lifesaver! Noise reduction and tone changing enhance the listening experience. Love it! This served its purpose as background listening while I worked. I probably missed some details but the narrator's voice was pleasant enough.
