/Jean Paul Marat: Tribune of the French Revolution, /Pluto Press, 2012
Dear friends,
If you have an interest in French Revolution history, you may enjoy
watching an interview I did last week about my biography of Jean Paul
Marat. Interviewer Randy Credico’s enthusiasm for the subject was so
infectious that he got me excited talking about it.
The entire program is about an hour and a quarter long, and includes
stirring renditions of the revolutionary anthem /La
Marseillaise/ interspersed throughout the interview. Here’s the link:

The interview is part of a series of programs devoted to the defense of
Julian Assange, whom the Trump administration wants to put on trial for
espionage and treason. This is a dangerous assault on journalists’
freedom to reveal truths to the public that the government would prefer
to suppress. Attempts to silence Assange echo attacks on revolutionary
journalist Jean Paul Marat more than two centuries ago.
Some of you may know who Randy Credico is, and others may be wondering,
“Where have I heard that name before?” He has been in the news in
recent months in connection with the Roger Stone case. Stone asserted
that Credico was his “back channel” to Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, a
ludicrous claim that Stone was eventually forced to admit was untrue.
Credico, like Marat and Assange, is a courageous journalist that the
authorities have tried to intimidate and prevent from publishing.
I had a lot of fun doing the interview. I hope you find it fun to watch.
Cliff
