From the library of American journalist George E. Sokolsky, his bookplate is laid down on the front paste down. George Sokolsky was an admirer of the Russian Revolution as a young man and on graduating from the Columbia School of Journalism he moved to the Soviet Union to write for the Russian Daily News. However following the overthrow of the Kerensky government by the Bolsheviks he became completely disillusioned with revolution and in the words of Bennett Cerf, a former classmate, "Suddenly the flaming radical, Sokolsky, became the flaming reactionary, George Sokolsky, and one of the most important columnists in the United States of America." Leaving Russia he arrived in China to begin a 14 year residence there. During this period he became the friend and confidente of many important people of the time including Sun Yat-sen, Soong May-ling and others while writing for The Shanghai Gazette. On returning to the US he became very influential in right wing circles becoming an intimate of J. Edgar Hoover and a great supporter of Senator Joseph McCarthy.
