From Library Journal:

Patner provides a glimpse into the personality and insights of a self-described "non conformist of the left" whose journalistic career spans six decades. I.F. Stone's Weekly , founded in 1952, gained a wide audience and had considerable impact on public opinion. From a series of conversations Patner held with Stone in 1984, we discover Stone's views on Ancient Greece, American Communism, the Bible, and, most importantly, journalism. Patner's study is largely uncritical. Still, it captures the essence of one of contemporary America's most perceptive political commentators, the forces and figures influencing his career, and puts that career into historical perspective. Recommended for academic and public libraries. John R. Sillito, Weber State Coll. Lib., Ogden, Utah

From Publishers Weekly:

Patner pens ' 'an all-too-slim but entirely engaging" portrait of the late Stone, for some 60 years America's most celebrated radical journalist. According to PW , we learn more about Stone's passionate interest in ancient Greece and its philosophers than of his journalistic career and political views.
