A communist, he was sent to cover the Spanish Civil War for the Daily Worker, also clashing with George Orwell who depicted him as the Stalinist Frank Pitcairn.

Here he argued against appeasement and gained the attention of the secret service. He also lambasted the British establishment, in particular the Cliveden Set. he later became a novelist, one of which became the John Houston film, Beat the Devil.This is the first biography of Cockburn, by his youngest son.
