Marxist journalist Claud Cockburn launched the first British publication known as The Week as a newsletter in the spring of 1933, after he had returned from reporting on Germany. The newsletter focused on the rise of fascism. Cockburn relied on other journalists to supply most of his information. These were those stories that their own newspaper would not print. Important contacts included Frederick Kuh, Negley Faros, Paul Scheffer, and Sefan Litauer. These are editions from the second to last year of The Weeks running. They are preserved well, and bound together nicely and securely. FORN-MSB-0823-0744-HK584
