The Village Voice reviewed it.

Although he's long dead, he has his own web site.

"Guttenplan’s admiring but not uncritical biography has been nearly 20 years in the making." The NYTimes reviewed it here.

Here's another review of Guttenplan's book.

American Radical: The Life and Times of I. F. Stone by D.D. Guttenplan, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 570 pages, $35.00; the new biography is (the graphics are copied straight from Amazon):

American Radical: The Life and Times of I. F. Stone

Author is D. D. Guttenplan.



Here's a reference to the Myra McPherson biography of IF Stone:

Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America

by John Earl Haynes, Harvey Klehr, and Alexander Vassiliev Yale University Press, 650 pages, $35.00

Some say IF Stone spied for the Soviets. I don't know what he knew that the Russians could not have figured out for themselves. Here's a wikipedia entry regarding the Venona project. There obviously were some spies. It is not obvious that Stone was among them.
