Introduced by Alexander Cockburn
The Thirty Years' Wars is journalism of engagement, by one of the greatest journalists of his generation. Kopkind takes us from Martin Luther King to Jesse Jackson, traversing Washington, Hanoi, Stonewall and Soweto, on journeys amid ruin and hope.
“Probably no better record exists of these landmark events than the vivid reflections collected in The Thirty Years' Wars.” – Washington Post
“Politically engaged journalism at its best.” – Out
“Kopkind had a great talent for describing the political moods of the moment.“
New York Times Book Review
“Kopkind's death in late 1994 robbed the left of one of its most significant and witty journalists.” –Library Journal
“Shelve this collection next to the best writings of l.F. Stone and H.L Mencken in that great library of books that torment the comfortable.” – Kirkus Reviews
“A voice to be savored.” – Publishers Weekly
Andrew Kopkind was the senior associate editor at the Nation at the time of his death in 1994. During his long career he was reporter for Time and the New Statesman, and a contributor to New Left Review, Esquire, Grand Street and II Manifesto.
