From International Socialism, No.32, Spring 1968, p.7.
Transcribed & marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.
We seem to have let through a number of proof slips in Peter Sedgwick’s Tragedy of the Tragedian: An Appreciation of Isaac Deutscher in the last issue of IS. In footnote 4, ‘Merleau Ponty’s comment on Sartre’s Signes’ should have read ‘Merleau Ponty’s comment on Sartre in Signes.’ Footnote 10 should refer to ‘Party in Poland,’ ten lines after its position in the original text. Finally, in footnote 14, ‘Richard Freeman’ is in fact Richard Greeman.
Peter Sedgwick’s translation of Memoirs of a Revolutionary 1901-1941 by Victor Serge has, incidentally, now been reissued as a paperback (Oxford). Another book of possible interest to readers is Alasdair Maclntyre’s A Short History of Ethics (Routledge) which appeared last year. In the spring, Weidenfeld published Michael Kidron’s Western Capitalism since the War, and New Thinker’s Library (Watts) published Nigel Harris’ Beliefs in Society, the Problem of Ideology. Other books on the stocks include Paul Foot’s portrait of Harold Wilson, Colin Barker’s study of shop steward organisation and Jim Kincaid’s account of the Welfare State.
Of our contributors in this issue, Martin Barker is a recent philosophy graduate, married, active socialist in the Merseyside area; N Israel, former member of the Israeli Communist Party, finally expelled in 1960 after taking issue with Stalinism from 1956, a founding member of the Israeli Socialist Organisation (formed in 1961 to unite Jewish and Arab internationalists), contributes to its monthly, Matzpen.
