"The life of Claud Cockburn ... [is] deftly narrated by his son, the exceptional and award-winning foreign correspondent Patrick Cockburn ... Cockburn senior was a hero to my generation of would-be journalists. He was the living bridge between the political storms of the 1930s and the early satire-boom of Private Eye in the 1960s."

Roger Lewis,
"The story of Claud Cockburn and the Week, the deadly little newsletter he set up in 1933, shows that power is not always deaf to truth."
