In 1940, American socialist-turned-conservatist politician Benjamin Gitlow first published this work of political autobiography, I Confess: The Truth About American Communism. The book proved to be controversial and widely noticed, pushing Gitlow into the public eye as a leading opponent of American Communism. To this day, it remains an important primary document for the study of American Communism in the 1920s and 1930s. "This book is a faithful and, resolutely candid account from the inside—and what is more important, from the top—of a vital phase of recent American history. The history is secret, and might well have remained so but for the extraordinary poise and courage of this man, Ben Gitlow, and his ultimate recovery of clear vision and unmixed devotion to his ideals."—Max Eastman, Introduction
Spanning eight decades, Mangoes for Monkeys tells the story of its protagonist Suchitra and her promise to the monkeys in her sylvan childhood home. From pre-independence India to the year 2000, Mangoes for Monkeys catalogues Suchitra's life journey as a woman, mother, wife, artist and photographer. Weaving a tapestry of emotions and relationships, Radhika Vyas Sharma, keeps the focus on Suchitra and her metamorphosis from an unsure teenager to a wise woman of the world. Additionally, whether Suchitra's monkeys will get to feast on mangoes in the thick of winter makes for a surprise and nail-biting finish.
