THE WILLIAM LOEB BIOGRAPHY: AN UPDATE
Shortly after publication of his critical biography of the late William Loeb, author Joseph McQuaid was approached by two members of the Loeb family.
Their information confirmed details of Loeb’s personal life that McQuaid had been unable to verify before publication. The Union Leader reported on the revelations in its May 1, 2022 New Hampshire Sunday News.
PlaidSwede Publishing believes this information contributes to a fuller picture of a provocative publisher and private paradox.
