Findings Keepings - Losses Gains Parts 1 & 2 of the autobiography of Ralph Russell Edited by Marion Molteno Ralph's autobiography was produced through a dialogue between Ralph and Marion. Its starting point was his reflective writing - personal and political - produced over many years and aimed at different audiences. Marion edited this early version into a continuous story of his development and the times through which he has lived, and prompted him to add incidents and background explanations to bring the period to life for today's readers.
An absorbing and entertaining insight into life through three decades - a Yorkshire country childhood in the 1920s - the scholarship-boy outsider at a public school - a communist student leader in 1930s Cambridge - and military service in war time India.
Part 2: Losses Gains [1945 - 1958]
