Add to basketSigned and inscribed by I.F. Stone in Toronto in April, 1948 upon front free endpaper. Here he documents his experience as "the first newspaperman to travel the Jewish underground in Europe and to arrive in Palestine on a so-called illegal boat. I did not [make this journey] as a newspaperman merely in search of a good story, but as a kinsman, fulfilling a moral obligation to my brothers. I wanted to, as a journalist, provide a picture of their trials and their aspirations in the hope that good people, Jewish and non-Jewish, might be moved to help them." - xiii. "The author's underground journey took him from France into Germany, Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Austria, Italy, and through the Mediterranean to Haifa. His account of that adventure is a gripping narrative, a record of historic value, and a story of dramatic force." - dust jacket. Dedicated to "Those Anonymous Heroes, The Schlichim of the Haganah". This title is included in the "Forbidden Bookshelf", a list of approximately twenty-seven books which "look deep into the darker trends and episodes in US history and help show how America became the land it is today, and how we might start to change it." - Open Road Media. "I.F. Stone (1907-1989), born in Philadelphia to Jewish Russian immigrants, is best remembered for I.F. Stone's Weekly (1953-1971), a highly regarded newsletter." - Wikipedia. xiv, 240, [1] pp. Book tight and unmarked with light wear and some soiling to first dozen pages. Above-average wear to price-clipped dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A sound signed example of this dramatic and heartfelt account. ; Sm 8vo; Signed by Author.
