Thanks by the way for Foss's outline..."Hero of the Left". I remain fasinated with Aalto's life but am not sure enough facts remain to really capture his life . A film might be interesting...or historical fiction as a format. Too bad Foss wasn't more objective...and too bad he cannot be located. I seem to be able to "feel" him as an entity......but I have never been able to describe this...to others. I really feel he wants his story told..........to me...he seems very much alive......one feels that Billy could explain today's "People's armies".....and thier roles in upcomming world events....in a way that might even make sense of it all......quite a few of his predictions have indeed come to pass!

Snell, Ph.D Sat, 13 Mar 2010 14:06:07 +0000 http://wpdev.joehooper.webfactional.com/?p=100#comment-6 Much of what is said here resonates with me personally as a returned expatriate, as someone who has moved quite a bit and who finds echos in T.E. Lawrence's comments about no longer being an Englishman but never having been an Arab...a third culture view. I struggle with the sense of being a "too-late" (as opposed to premature) anti-fascist at a time when fascism seems to have swept the world. Thank you for this interview.
