Hamilton Fish V Biography

Hamilton Fish V is one of the most popular and richest Publisher who was born on September 5, 1952 in Washington, D.C., United States. Hamilton Fish V, also known as Ham, is an American publisher, social entrepreneur and environmental advocate. He was born September 5, 1951. He is currently the editor and publisher of The Washington Spectator, a monthly independent political periodical.

Fish is most well-known for his efforts to revive The Nation magazine and its sister foundation The Nation Institute. Fish teamed up Victor Navasky in 1977 to begin the process of finding investors to purchase the magazine that was then under receivership. Fish and Navasky formed a partnership that lasted ten years as the publisher and editor of the oldest weekly political newspaper in the country with the support of a limited group of partners, including Norman Lear and Alan Sagner. The Nation saw steady growth and modernization of its publishing operations. It also prospered during the Ronald Reagan years. Fish and Navasky were able to cause a lot of chaos worthy of an independent journal. The magazine waged a long, but not without success, over the Cold War’s history. It lost a landmark case over copyright protection in the Supreme Court of the United States. They also convened large conferences, including the 1981 Writers Congress which examined the status of writers (and spawned the National Writers Union); and the Dialogo de Todas Las Americas to create a cultural and political discourse among the north and south to counter the interventionist doctrine of the Reagan Years. Arthur Carter, a New York- based investor who had founded the Litchfield County Times, purchased Fish’s interest in the magazine. He succeeded Fish as The Nation publisher.

After leaving The Nation magazine in 1987, Fish entered a three-way race for the Democratic nomination for the United States Congress in a Westchester County district held by Republican Representative Joseph DioGuardi. The national media took note of the race when his 100-year-old grandfather, Hamilton Fish III, described his grandson as a “communist” and contributed $100 to the Republican in the race. The elder Fish (1888–1991), himself a staunch Republican, served in Congress from the Hudson Valley from 1920–1945. Famously memorialized in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s enduring refrain, “Martin, Barton, and Fish”, a phrase used by FDR to deride his most persistent adversaries, the elder Fish was still active in conservative circles well into his late nineties. In 1988, the younger Fish lost in the closely contested primary to Nita Lowey, who went on to defeat the incumbent and still serves in Congress to the present day.

In 1989, Fish moved with his partner Sandra Harper to Hudson, New York and started an organic truck farm, where they grew heirloom produce and culinary and decorative herbs. They sold these items at the Union Square Greenmarket and to restaurants and farm stands in Upstate New York. Fish also commuted several days a week to New York City where he worked at Human Rights Watch, under then-Executive Director Aryeh Neier. During this period, Fish was most prominently associated with the launch of the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival and the opening of HRW’s European office in Brussels, Belgium. Their first child, Eliza, was born in 1991. In 1992, they moved to Garrison, New York, where Sophia, their second child, was born in 1993. Fish eventually moved his family to Lower Manhattan in 1997, where he entered his daughters in the local elementary school. The 2001 attack on the World Trade Center forced Fish to move his family out of the city temporarily and back up the Hudson River to Garrison.

Fish formed a partnership in 1975 with Marcel Ophuls. Marcel Ophuls had won worldwide acclaim for his 1969 documentary, The Sorrow and the Pity. It was about resistance and collaboration in Vichy France. Ophuls was forcibly removed from his current project, which was a film about the legacy of Nuremberg as well as its application to American intervention in Vietnam. Fish set out on a two year journey to complete The Memory of Justice. He was supported by Paramount Pictures and Max Palevsky, a California financier. The four-hour-and-forty-minute film premiered at Cannes Film Festival in 1976, and appeared in the United States for the first time at the New York Film Festival later that same year. Vincent Canby wrote in the New York Times that the film set a new standard in documentaries. He stated “…The Memory of Justice broadens the scope of documentary motion pictures in such a manner that future films will be compared.
