Far East Reporter

Published by Maud Russell


         

      From 1952 until her death at the age of 96 in 1989, Maud Russell published a magazine in New York City called the Far East Reporter. Actually, this was more like a long series of pamphlets, most of which were about revolutionary China in the Mao era. Some of them were written by Maud Russell herself, and others were written by different people, sometimes famous personalities. Many of these pamphlets remain of considerable interest today, though they are now increasingly difficult to find. With the help of friends of this website we have scanned and posted as as many of these issues/pamphlets as we have been able to locate.

      A predecessor publication to the Far East Reporter was the Far East Spotlight, published from about 1945 into the early 1950s by the Committee for a Democratic Far Eastern Policy, whose executive director was Maud Russell. We have scanned and posted the issues and pamphlets we have located from that publication and organization as well.

      Some of the pamphlets below are scanned with two pages per sheet, so if printed they will only require half the number of sheets of paper indicated by the page count. However, we have reformatted many such issues in the better one-page/sheet way.
