This book serves as a two-volume, intimate companion to the muckraker's autobiography, compiling correspondence from 1889 to 1936. The collection reveals the journalist's personal evolution, covering his early work at McClure's, investigations into municipal corruption and eventual radicalization toward Soviet communism. Unlike his autobiography, these letters offer a less guarded portrait, exposing his private doubts and emotional life.
