Russian-Americana author Maurice Hindus (1891-1969) came to the United
States in 1905, settling in New York City with his mother and siblings. He
worked as an errand boy while attending night classes, traveling across the New
York area to work on several different farms. He originally planned to enroll
at Cornell University to pursue agriculture, but instead was accepted to Colgate
University, where he earned a degree in literature in 1915. He published his
first book five years later, and after returning to Russia, published several
books and articles based on the culture and life style. He returned back and
forth from Russia and the U.S. for several years, staying for an extended period
to become a Russian war correspondent during World War II. Some of his
most famous books are Mother Russia (1943), Crisis in the
Kremlin (1953), and Red Bread (1931). Tear on left margin. Light
surface creases. Binding hole on left margin. Paper clipping affixed to bottom
