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 was the 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.

On September 11, 2001, Al Qaeda launched a series of suicide attacks utilizing commercial American airline flights, resulting in the destruction of the World Trade Center buildings in New York City and devastation to the Pentagon in Washington, DC. This caused the loss of thousands of lives. It will be referred to in this text as the 9/11 events, since that is how it is now publicly referred to in the United States.

See “Apology for Raymond Cibonne,” in Essays of Montaigne (New York: Modern Library, 1946). The arguments about the cost of freedom, as well as the fact of freedom, have been universally addressed. For an insightful and elegant take on this theme see “The Grand Inquisitor” in Dostoyevsky’s great novel The Brothers Karamazov.
