Alexander Cockburn

    Alexander Cockburn bol americký politický novinár, ktorý sa preslávil svojim prenikavým a často nekompromisným pohľadom na súčasné dianie. Jeho písanie sa vyznačovalo hlbokou analýzou mocenských štruktúr a kritikou establišmentu. Cockburn sa nebál spochybňovať dominantné naratívy a ponúkať alternatívne perspektívy, čím si získal povesť neohrozeného intelektuála. Jeho dielo dodnes inšpiruje čitateľov hľadajúcich kritické zhodnotenie politickej reality.
