Belfrage; born November 8, 1904, in London, England; died June 21, 1990, in Cuernavaca, Mexico; radical journalist victimized by congressional investigators during the anticommunist activities of the 1950s. The public relations worker, translator, and author began his journalism career as a Hollywood correspondent for the British press. In 1930 he worked in public relations for film producer Samuel Goldwyn, then became a film reviewer. Belfrage served in British intelligence during World War II, and in 1948 he co-founded the leftist National Guardian. Six years later he risked deportation for refusing to cooperate with congressional investigators probing his alleged communist activities. In 1955 Belfrage moved to England and eventually settled in Mexico. He maintained his ties to the National Guardian until 1967, when an editorial disagreement prompted his resignation. He returned to the publication in the early 1980s. Among Belfrage's writings are A Faith to Free the People, Seeds of Destruction, The Man at the Door with the Gun, and Something to Guard. He also translated Eduardo Galeano's Memory of Fire and Book of Embraces)
