About the Author

Stanley Dyrector was born in Brooklyn, New York. Beginning his career as an actor, he switched to writing, where he found much success. His TV writing credits include such popular shows as Wagon Train and Slattery’s People. He and his wife, Joyce, teamed up and wrote for daytime TV soaps on ABC, as well as hour radio dramas and comedies for Sears Radio Theatre and Mutual Radio Theatre. Dyrector’s 2-act Vietnam-era play, A Pelican of the Wilderness, was deemed by LA Times critic John Mahoney as “Outstanding.”  His award-winning interview show called The Stanley Dyrector Show can be seen in various locales and on the Internet.

...Stanley Dyrector takes readers back to a time when freedom of speech was halted or non-existent. Some might say that when defending those that you felt were not guilty would cast guilt upon yourself. A great book with outstanding interviews, and books that I would love to read - and interviewees if alive I would love to have on my own radio show....This is a must read for everyone....This book gets FIVE GOLD LISTS as does the Foreword by Edward Asner.
