Eugene Lyons (1898-1985) was an American journalist and writer. A fellow traveler of Communism in his younger years, Lyons became highly critical of the Soviet Union after several years there as a correspondent of United Press International. Lyons also wrote a biography of President Herbert Hoover. Eugene Lyons was born July 1, 1898, to a Jewish family in the town of Uzlyany, now part of Belarus but then part of the Russian Empire. His parents emigrated to the US, and he grew up among the teeming tenements of the Lower East Side of New York City. "I thought myself a 'socialist' almost as soon as I thought at all," Lyons recalled in his memoirs. As a youth he attended a Socialist Sunday School on East Broadway, where he sang Socialist hymns such as "The Internationale" and "The Red Flag." Lyons worked for the Workers Defense Union for some time and composed news releases for the Socialist daily newspaper New York Call and other left-wing publications In the fall of 1920, with revolution in the wind in Italy and dreaming of becoming the next John Reed, Lyons made his way to Naples and bore credentials of the Federated Press news service and the monthly magazine The Liberator. Lyons's Italian experiences were later put to use in his first book, The Life and Death of Sacco and Vanzetti, which was published in 1927 by the Communist-affiliated International Publishers in which he argued the case for the pair's innocence. Lyons became a correspondent for the Soviet news agency TASS. Lyons' work for TASS led to his becoming the United Press (UP) correspondent in Moscow [Wikipedia]. Signed by Author(s).
