Short, unattractive, hobbling about Stalin's Moscow on a wooden leg, Walter Duranty was an unlikely candidate for the world's most famous foreign correspondent. Yet for almost twenty years his articles filled the front page of The New York Times with gripping coverage of the aftermath of the Russian Revolution. A witty, engaging, impish character with a flamboyant life-style, he was a Pulitzer Prize winner, the individual most credited with helping to win U.S. recognition for the Soviet regime, and the reporter who had predicted the success of the Bolshevik state when all others claimed it was doomed. But, as S.J. Taylor reveals in this provocative biography, Walter Duranty played a key role in perpetrating some of the greatest lies history has ever known.
Stalin's Apologist deftly unfolds the story of this accomplished but sordid and tragic life. Drawing on sources ranging from newspapers to private letters and journals to interviews with such figures as William Shirer and W. Averell Harriman, Taylor's vivid narrative unveils a figure driven by ambition, whose early success reporting on Bolshevik Russia--he was foremost in predicting Stalin's rise to power--established his international reputation, fed his overconfident contempt for his colleagues, and indeed led him to identify with the Soviet dictator. Thus during the great Ukrainian famine of the early 1930s, which Stalin engineered to crush millions of peasants who resisted his policies, Duranty dismissed other correspondents' reports of mass starvation and, though secretly aware of the full scale of the horror, effectively reinforced the official cover-up of one of history's greatest man-made disasters. Later, he took the rigged show trials of Stalin's Great Purges at face value, blithely accepting the guilt of the victims. He believed himself the leading expert on the Soviet Union, and his faith in his own insight drew him into a downward spiral of distortions and untruths, typified by his memorable excuse for Stalin's crimes, "You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs."
Taylor brilliantly captures the full range of Duranty's astonishing life, from his participation in the Satanic orgies of Aleister ("the Beast") Crowley, to his dramatic front-line reporting during World War I, to his epic womanizing and heavy drug and alcohol abuse. It is the bitter, ironic story of a man who had the rare opportunity to bring to light the suffering of the millions of Stalin's victims, but remained a prisoner of vanity, self-indulgence, and success..

Throughout the first half of the 20th century, as both an Anglican and as a Roman Catholic, Ronald Knox was a well-know part of the English landscape. He was a favored preacher for occasions great and small; his articles on a host of topics found a place in the newspapers and monthly literary magazines; his voice was heard often on the BBC. Most significant was the tide of books that flowed from his pen that found a wide readership in Great Britain and the USA.

A gifted writer, Knox expressed himself in a variety of genres -- from Limericks and detective stories to belles-lettres and spiritual conferences. He was a humanist and a Christian. Knox could grapple with profound philosophical and theological issues, and he could write for fun. He could amuse, edify or challenge -- and not infrequently, he did all three in the same work.

In this book, Milton Walsh has gathered together the most significant writings of Knox that fall under the genre of apologetics, writings that teach and defend the Catholic faith. Knox was a superb apologist because as a priest he was a man of deep faith, and as a writer he had a wonderful way of expressing the Christian truths in an elegant and clear language. Knox was also a man with a grand sense of humor and a keen wit, as well as empathy and kindness, and both his humor and charity are captured well in these writings.

This book is another excellent entry in the growing list of works of great British writers of the early 20th century who are being enthusiastically rediscovered by today's readers. Ronald Knox stands alongside G. K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, and Evelyn Waugh as some of the great spiritual and literary British writers whose works are once again receiving wide readership and appreciation.

History and religion meet in How a Carpenter Changed the World by Richard Breese. Meticulously researched, this book describes the far-reaching sociological and sociopolitical implications of the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, specifically how one man's voice and legacy gave rise to pave the cornerstones of democratic principles and democratic institutions. A truly humanitarian evolution of justice, Western legal traditions, republican forms of government, such as monarchy and later the concept of representation in city governments, constitutional governments and national governments all find their roots in the teachings of this man. A rich and rewarding experience, this academic study of the life of Jesus also sheds vast light on the world's agricultural, educational, and philosophical revolutions. From the Age of Reason to the Age of Enlightenment and through the American Revolution, this study ultimately provides a powerful message of freedom, rights, and responsibilities..
