Author: Bradley R,. Smith
Bradley R. Smith was an author, playwright and free-speech activist. He served in the U.S. Armed Forces in Korea, where he became a combat veteran and was twice wounded. He was a deputy sheriff (Los Angeles County), a merchant seaman, a bookseller on Hollywood Boulevard, an activist for free speech (he was prosecuted for intentionally selling a book then banned by the U.S. Government – Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer), and was a freelance writer in Saigon during the TET offensive of 1968. But most importantly, he was the co-founder and driving force of the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (www.codoh.com) and its incessant lobbying for free speech. Smith was married to a native Mexican woman; they have two daughters.
