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.
