This was a really great read. Patrick Cockburn gives a very interesting account of his father, Claud Cockburn, who is a person I had never heard of before reading this. Apparently, he is Olivia Wilde's grandfather which is pretty wild (no pun intended). I enjoyed reading this biography and it served as not only a perfect sort of teaser to Claud Cockburn, but also to Patrick Cockburn who managed to so perfectly write a biography that was intensely interesting all the way through and left me wanting more.
