Hugh Brogan (Biography, pages 196, 437) comments that the first of ARs three pamphlets about the Russian Revolution, and the rarest, was ‘The Truth about Russia’ published by the New Republic, New York (presumably the left-wing magazine) in 1918.

As like the other two books on the Russian Revolution (published by Geo Allen & Unwin, London) it is out of copyright in America as published pre-1923, why hasn’t it been published on-line? Brogan says it was a ‘Moscow-sponsored edition’, and chiefly of interest for the comments of Radek on AR:
“He is a man with his eyes open, with a warm heart, without any prejudices, a man whose deep love for the masses and for all who were hurled into this war and its hellish misery enabled him to understand Russia”.

Radek was a personal friend, even if he had the misfortune “to be born a Pole and a Bolshevik” (page 216). And later to be purged.
