David Crook
David Crook (14 August 1910 – 1 November 2000) was a British-born Communist ideologue, activist and spy, long resident in China. A committed Marxist from 1931, he joined the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War (1936–39), then was recruited by the KGB, the Soviet secret police, and was sent to China during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–45). There he met and married his wife, Isabel, a teacher and social activist. The couple stayed in China after 1949 to teach English.〔(Hampstead Heath to Tian An Men – The autobiography of David Crook )〕
In 1959, the Crooks published ''Revolution in a Chinese Village, Ten Mile Inn''〔London: Routledge & Paul, 1959; reprinted: New York: Pantheon Books, 1979〕 and in 1966 came ''The First Years of Yangyi Commune''.〔London: Routledge & K. Paul, 1966〕 The British Sinologist Delia Davin wrote that through that "classic study" and other writings and talks, the Crooks "provided a positive picture of China to the outside world at a time when cold war simplifications were the norm."〔("David Crook A communist who fought against Franco, spied for Stalin and wrote a classic book on change in China" ) (Obituary) Delia Davin The Guardian, Sunday 17 December 2000〕 The Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) called ''Revolution'' a "seminal work, which has been bringing the achievements and challenges of the Chinese agrarian revolution to life for English-speaking readers since 1959."〔( Review: Ten Mile Inn by David and Isabel Crook ) (Proletarian Online ) 51 (December 2012)〕 Crook died at 90 after spending his last five decades in China, his political beliefs largely unshaken despite five years' imprisonment during the Cultural Revolution (1966–76).〔Hochschild, Adam (19 Dec 2013), (“Orwell: Homage to the ‘Homage’” ), ''New York Review of Books''.〕
