This is a collection of 24 issues published in 1969 from arguably the most notable self-published journalist project of the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s -- the I.F. Stone Weekly. Stone was a leftist journalist of the World War II and Cold War era who became increasing unemployable in the McCarthyite 1950s. Stone responded by launching a self published periodical of keen investigative and critical reporting. He was particularly incisive in reporting on the Vietnam, international affairs and the foibles of government, Stone bird-dogged issues for his avid readers among the gatekeepers of the then all-powerful mainstream media.

This lot includes all 24 issues published Jan. 13, 1969 to Dec. 29, 1969, Volume XVII, No. 1-24. Stone shifted to a biweekly schedule at the beginning of 1968 but continued with the name Weekly.
