Monthly Review Press

Monthly Review Press

Monthly Review Press, an allied endeavor, was launched in 1951 in response to the inability of left-wing journalist I. F. Stone to find a publisher for his book The Hidden History of the Korean War. Stone's work, which argued that the ongoing armed conflict was not simply a case of Communist military aggression but rather the product of North Korean political isolation, South Korean military buildup, and border provocations, became the first title offered by the new publisher in 1952.
