Career

Books

Andrew Cockburn has written seven books concerning military history and international affairs. They include:⁹ Claud was best known for his opposition to the British government’s policy of appeasement and his coverage of the Spanish Civil War, both of which were believed to be Communist propaganda efforts by critics. Historian D.C. Watts noted that Claud’s writing on appeasement aligned closely with Soviet foreign policy goals. ¹⁰ According to George Orwell, Claud’s work on the Spanish Civil War was filled with inaccuracies and some blatant lies to downplay the strength of the nationalist forces to entice more foreign aid for the Soviet Union-backed Republicans. In one instance, Claud claimed to have witnessed a battle which never took place. In Homage to Catalonia, Orwell outright accused Claud of being an agent of the British Communist Party, and by extension, of the Soviet Union. 0){ let parent=divs[divs.length-1].parentNode; let footer=divs[divs.length-1]; delete divs[divs.length-1]; for (let i=2; i
