Third Camp Socialism collects Phyllis and Julius Jacobson's major writings on civil rights, Stalinism, the Cold War, and the New York Intellectuals. It makes a powerful case for revisiting the Jacobsons' contributions to socialist thought. The Jacobsons advanced a militant, small-d democratic perspective on the landmark events of their era, from the New Deal and World War II to sixties protests and the War on Terror. Today, they are best remembered for founding New Politics and defending a third camp perspective that resists capitalism as well as all varieties of 'progressive' authoritarianism.

Phyllis Jacobson (1922-2010) joined the Trotskyist movement as a high school student during the Depression. She and her husband Julius were active in the Workers Party (1940-1949) and its successor, the Independent Socialist League (1949-1958). They cofounded New Politics in 1961. Julius Jacobson (1922-2003) was a regular contributor to Labor Action and The New International, and was the founding editor of Anvil (1949-60). His books included The Negro and the American Labor Movement (1968), Soviet Communism and the Socialist Vision (1972), and Socialist Perspectives (1983, coedited with Phyllis Jacobson).
