Martin Ebon (May 27, 1917 – February 11, 2006) was the pen-name of Hans Martin Schwarz, a German American journalist and author of non-fiction books and articles from the paranormal to politics, particularly as an anti-communist.[1][2][3][4]
Background
Edit
Hans Martin Schwarz was born on May 27, 1917, in Hamburg, Germany.
Career
Edit
During the 1930s, Schwarz published in Israelitisches Familienblatt among other German-Jewish periodicals.[1]
In 1938, Schwarz emigrated to the USA, lived in New York City from 1938 onwards, and changed his name from Hans Martin Schwartz to Martin Ebon.[1]
During World War II, he served in the U.S. Office of War Information (formed June 1942), the U.S. Department of State (as an information officer[citation needed]), and by 1948 had joined the staff of Partisan Review magazine.[2]
In January 1948, Ebon published his first book in English, World Communism Today.[2] The book reviewed a century of Marxism, following the publication of the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848.[5] Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. praised the book as an `outstanding work on communist penetration and strategy.`[6] The book was cited as an expert source, e.g., 60,000 members in the Korean Communist Party as of 1949.[7] In March 1948, he appeared on WMAL AM radio in Washington, DC, to discuss `Which Way America – Fascism, Communism, Socialism, or Democracy?` with Raymond Moley (Conservative), Norman Thomas (Socialist), and Leon Milton Birkhead (Unitarian).[8] His July 1948 article `Communist Tactics in Palestine` in the Middle East Journal received a favorably review as `carefully documented` and `objective and non-partisan.`[6] In 1953, his book Malenkov: Stalin`s Successor received mixed reviews as `short,`[9] quickly published (weeks after Stalin`s death), and carefully appraising thanks to the author`s previous book on world communism.[10] It drew favorable comparison to Eugene Lyons` Our Secret Allies.[11]
Ebon held various positions in book and magazine retailing, including:
Managing Editor of foreign language division, Overseas News Agency; U.S. Information Agency, New York City[citation needed]
Information Officer on Far Eastern desks, 1950–52; Hill & Knowlton, Inc. (public relations), New York City[citation needed]
Account Executive, 1952–53; Parapsychology Foundation, Inc., New York City, administrative secretary and editor, 1953–65, working closely with its founder, Eileen J. Garrett[4]
Lombard Associates, Inc. (public relations and publications consultants), New York City, president, 1962–82[citation needed]
Consulting Editor, New American Library (publishers), 1966–83[citation needed]
Executive Editor of hardcover book division, Playboy Press, 1971–72[citation needed]
Lecturer in Division of Social Sciences, The New School, 1949–50, 1955–56, 1967[citation needed]
Consultant, Foundation for Research on the Nature of Man, 1966–67[citation needed]
Free-lance writer from 1967 on[citation needed]
