Alexander Cockburn was the co-editor of CounterPunch and the author of a number of titles, including Corruptions of Empire, The Golden Age Is in Us, Washington Babylon and Imperial Crusades. Brought up in Ireland, he moved to America in 1972 writing for the Village Voice, the Nation and many other journals. He died in July 2012.Like Adorno, Cockburn's province is the consciousness of industry, and if, unlike Adorno, he isn't mournful, then so much the better ... He is one of the few journalists in America, given that most of them tend to report either each word or what is acceptable to policy-makers.
- Edward Said, London Review of Books
Probably the most gifted polemicist writing in English today.
Times Literary Supplement
Never less than ferociously entertaining.
Publishers Weekly
Outspoken, intellectual, uncompromising, combative, witty and incapable of hiding his contempt for the powers that be.
Utne Reader
Snobbish, funny, brutal and nostalgic.
Los Angeles Times
