The definitive biography of a radical activist and intellectual Max
Eastman (1883-1969) was a prolific writer, radical, and public
intellectual who helped shape the twentieth century. While
researching this masterful work, acclaimed biographer Christoph
Irmscher was granted unprecedented access to the Eastman family
archive, allowing him to document little-known aspects of the
famously handsome and charismatic radical. Considered one of the
"hottest radicals" of his time, Eastman edited two of the most
important modernist magazines, The Masses and The Liberator, and
campaigned for women's suffrage and world peace. A fierce critic of
Joseph Stalin, Eastman befriended and translated Leon Trotsky and
remained unafraid to express unpopular views, drawing criticism
from both conservatives and the Left. Set against the backdrop of
several decades of political and ideological turmoil, and
interweaving Eastman's singular life with stories of the
fascinating people he knew and loved, this book will have broad
interdisciplinary appeal in twentieth-century history and politics,
intellectual history, and literary studies.
