History à la Deutscher

On July 2 the Sunday Times of London published a long article under the head, “New Russia-China Clash Revealed,” with the subhead.: Khrushchev Accuses Mao: “Inciting World War.” The author, in whose name a World Copyright is claimed, is given as “Isaac Deutscher, author of ‘Stalin, a Political Biography,’ and a leading authority on Soviet affairs.”

This article was published simultaneously in the Washington Post & Times – Herald and (in an abridged translation) in the most influential Italian newspaper, Corriera della Sera of Milan. A complete French translation was carried in the July 4, 5, 6 issues of France-Soir. Headlined news dispatches about the article appeared in most of the leading newspapers of the non-Communist world, including those in the United States. It may be presumed that copyrighter Deutscher raked in a pretty penny for this latest scoop in the most imaginative serial of the decade: The Myth of the Sino-Soviet Split (to be continued, and continued, and continued).
