A friend who was having breakfast with me that day was cajoled into co-signing the missive. It was published the following week with a reply, which was predictable and pathetic. There the matter might have rested, except that a few days later I received a letter in the post from Wales. It was from “The Earl Russell, .. ...”, and the two lines read: “I should like to congratulate you on your just and excellent letter to today’s Observer. The Observer’s reply to it sickens me. Yours sincerely, Bertrand Russell.” Ali adds that he was “thrilled beyond belief. Bertrand Russell had been known to me through some of his books a long time ago. He was a legendary figure  [A new letter, since a copy of it cannot be found in the Russell Archives.

Ali goes on to write of meeting Russell and his then-secretary, Ralph Schoenman . (After Russell broke with Schoenman, it was the Marxist paper Black Dwarf, for which Ali had previously worked, that first published Russell’s final “memorandum” on Schoenman.) He speaks extensively of his work with the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation in its early heady years. There is an entire chapter on Ali’s visit to Cambodia and North Vietnam as part of an investigative team for the International War Crimes Tribunal (Chap. ), and another chapter on his trip to Bolivia to investigate the arrest of Régis Debray, a French Marxist journalist captured after trying to meet with Che Guevara’s guerilla band (Chap. ). And there are shorter discussions of Ali’s other work for the Tribunal, such as a trip to Palestine after the Six Day War (pp. –). The book covers Ali’s entire activist life, not simply his work with Russell. It therefore contains much additional material unrelated to Russell, some dealing with Vietnam, some not. I particularly enjoyed the hilarious story of the time when Marlon Brando’s secretary called to say that Brando was inviting him to dinner. Thinking it was a joke, Ali reply was that “I was far too busy since I had prior engagements to eat with Henry Fonda and Laurence Olivier” (p. ). (Ultimately, Brando himself took the phone, convinced Ali that the offer was not a joke, and got him to come to dinner.) Ali paints a very entertaining portrait of Russell the man. He visited Russell at Plas Penrhyn at least once, in order to ask for Russell’s support for a protest campaign against a Labour .. Russell spoke at great length of his disgust for Harold Wilson’s support for the .. attack on Vietnam, and related with some relish that he had once refused to shake Wilson’s hand. Ali responded as follows : “So,” I began, “Wilson is the worst of the bunch?” He appeared deep in reflection. Then he shook his head. “Wilson is a small and petty man, but he is not the worst. I suppose if one has to make a choice I would say that Ramsay MacDonald was very dreadful. I can still hear his awful voice telling us that socialism would be built ‘brick by brick.’ Dreadful man. Some say that a party gets the leader it deserves. I don’t think the Labour Party deserved either MacDonald or Wilson.” (P. ) The visit lasted for some time, and touched on many other topics..." @default.
