JOCHEN HELLBECK, professor of history at Rutgers University, is preparing a book on the German occupation of the Soviet Union during World War II. He directs a team of Russian, Ukrainian, and Belorussian scholars that uncover and examine wartime records on the Soviet experience of Nazi occupation. Hellbeck regularly travels to Russia and Ukraine to document popular memories of the Second World War. His website, facingstalingrad.com, features portraits and interviews taken with German and Russian veterans who fought at Stalingrad. Hellbeck’s previous book, Revolution on My Mind, explored personal diaries written in the Soviet Union under Stalin. He lives in Brooklyn, NY.
CHRISTOPHER TAUCHEN is a freelance translator and editor. He lives in State College, PA.
DOMINIC BONFIGLIO lives in Berlin and works as a freelance translator of German prose.
PublicAffairs is a publishing house founded in 1997. It is a tribute to the standards, values, and flair of three persons who have served as mentors to countless reporters, writers, editors, and book people of all kinds, including me.
I. F. STONE, proprietor of I. F. Stone’s Weekly, combined a commitment to the First Amendment with entrepreneurial zeal and reporting skill and became one of the great independent journalists in American history. At the age of eighty, Izzy published The Trial of Socrates, which was a national bestseller. He wrote the book after he taught himself ancient Greek.
BENJAMIN C. BRADLEE was for nearly thirty years the charismatic editorial leader of The Washington Post. It was Ben who gave the Post the range and courage to pursue such historic issues as Watergate. He supported his reporters with a tenacity that made them fearless and it is no accident that so many became authors of influential, best-selling books.
ROBERT L. BERNSTEIN, the chief executive of Random House for more than a quarter century, guided one of the nation’s premier publishing houses. Bob was personally responsible for many books of political dissent and argument that challenged tyranny around the globe. He is also the founder and longtime chair of Human Rights Watch, one of the most respected human rights organizations in the world.
•••
For fifty years, the banner of Public Affairs Press was carried by its owner Morris B. Schnapper, who published Gandhi, Nasser, Toynbee, Truman, and about 1,500 other authors. In 1983, Schnapper was described by The Washington Post as “a redoubtable gadfly.” His legacy will endure in the books to come.
