Ronald Clark's biography reveals the private life of J.B.S. Haldane - trail-blazing geneticist and physiologist, popularizer of science, and dedicated Marxist. His relationships with colleagues and the political establishment were normally acrimonious - the reminiscences of friends and enemies, as well as his private papers, add the weight of personal insight to this examination of a great man.

About the Author:
Ronald Clark (1916-1987) born in London and educated at King's College School. In 1933 he chose journalism as a career. During the Second World War, after being turned down for military duty on medical grounds, he served as a war correspondent. During this time Clark landed on Juno Beach with the Canadians on D-Day and followed the war until it's end, then remained in Germany to report on the major War Crimes trials. Clark returned to Britain in 1948 and wrote extensively on subjects ranging from mountain climbing to the atomic bomb, Balmoral Castle to world explorers. He also wrote a number of biographies on a myriad of figures, such as: Charles Darwin, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Sigmund Freud, and Bertrand Russell.
