ITEM OVERVIEW
The memoirs of British radical journalist Claud Cockburn are sardonic, hilarious, and filled with rich histrical detail. They tell the story of an Oxford-educated Communist who rubbed elbows with everyone from Al Capone to Charles de Gaulle. From Times correspondent to Foreign Editor of the Daily Worker, Cockburn witnessed many of the twentieth century's most important events. He shares his insights with unparalleled, and decidedly irreverent, authorial skill. Includes a new foreword by Alexander Cockburn.
Claud Cockburn (1904–1981) was a renowned journalist and novelist.
