All Governments Lie The Life and Times of

In the world of Washington politics, where journalists are notorious for trading objectivity for access, I. F. "Izzy" Stone remained aloof from the blandishments of the government establishment and became renowned as an outspoken, zealous pursuer of truth. He relished being a pariah, and in his independent newsletter, I. F. Stone's Weekly, he opposed Cold War policies when other journalists were cheerleaders, battled Joseph McCarthy when most others were silent, and called the Vietnam Gulf of Tonkin incident a sham years before other journalists conceded that they had been duped.

Myra macpherson is the author of three previous books, including the Vietnam War classic Long Time Passing
