American writer and publisher

Emanuel Haldeman Julius (né Emanuel Julius) (July 30, 1889 – July 31, 1951) was a Jewish American socialist writer, atheist thinker, social reformer and publisher. He is best remembered as the head of Haldeman Julius Publications, the creator of a series of pamphlets known as "Little Blue Books," total sales of which ran into the hundreds of millions of copies.

Emanuel Julius was born July 30, 1889, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of David Julius (né Zolajefsky), a bookbinder. His parents were Jewish emigrants who fled Odessa (then part of the Russian Empire) and emigrated to America to escape religious persecution. His paternal and maternal grandfathers had both been rabbis but his own parents were not religious. "[T]hey were indifferent, for which I thank them." As a boy, Emanuel read voraciously. Literature and pamphlets produced by the socialists were inexpensive; Julius read them and was convinced by their arguments. As he put it in 1913, "Only four years ago, I was a factory hand — slaving away in a textile mill in Philadelphia. I came upon the philosophy of Socialism and it put a new spirit into me. It lifted me out of the depths and pointed the way to something higher. I commenced to crave for expression. I felt that I have something to say. So, I scribbled things down. And, to my surprise, Socialist editors gave me a little encouragement." He joined the Socialist Party before World War I

The couple had two children: Alice Haldeman Julius Deloach (1917–1991) and Henry Haldeman Julius (1919–1990; he later changed his name to Henry Julius Haldeman). They adopted Josephine Haldeman Julius Roselle (b. 1910). Marcet and Emanuel legally separated in 1933. Marcet died in 1941, and a year later Haldeman Julius married Susan Haney, an employee. In June 1951 Haldeman Julius was found guilty of income tax evasion by a Federal grand jury and sentenced to six months in Federal prison and fined $12,500. as well as at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Indiana University and California State University, Northridge.
