Beating the Devil: The Incendiary Rants of Alexander Cockburn

A 'wittiest of' collection of internationally known, maverick US commentator Alex Cockburn's recent talks. The subjects he defiles here range from Colombia to the American presidency to the planned missile defence system. Whether he is skewering the fallacies of the US 'Drug War' or illuminating the dark crevices of secret government, his erudite and extemporaneous style will warm the hearts of even the stodgiest cynic of the left.

Alexander Cockburn is one of left-wing America's best known journalists. He writes a regular column for The Nation and New York Press. He is also the founding editor of the bi-monthly journal Counterpunch. His books include: Whiteout:The CIA, Drugs and The Press, Five Days that Shook the World, Washington Babylon and The Golden Age Is In Us.
