  Description: Documentary biography of the noted socialist author C. Wright Mills. Narrated by Elsa Knight Thompson and Saul Landau. Political analyst-sociologist C. Wright Mills has been called a "lone guerrilla" who occupied a unique place in socialist thought, and the ideological mentor of America's New Left. Here is a portrait of the author of The Power Elite by: his publisher Ian Ballentine; Cuban journalist Juan Alcorcha; columnist-critic Ralph Gleason; and film-maker Saul Landau, who edited and helped research Mills' book on Lenin and Trotsky, The Marxists. Texas-born, fond of drink, hunting and motorcycles, Mills in the early '60s seemed an unlikely sort of radical, but he was an influential defender of the Cuban revolution and outspoken foe of Kennedy's administration after the Bay of Pigs invasion. This program is part of the Pacifica Radio Archives. This tape is recorded on two sides.
