From his childhood in the dying days of the British Empire to his work as a foreign correspondent in Weimar Germany and his founding of the legendary subversive newsletter *The Week*, Cockburn chronicles a life of radical conviction, sharp wit, and perpetual dissent. His prose crackles with irreverence, placing the reader inside smoky editorial offices, revolutionary meetings, and the corridors of power with disarming intimacy.\n\nBeyond mere memoir, this work stands as a vivid document of an era — a first-hand account of the ideological battles that defined the interwar years, written by a man who was never merely an observer but always a participant. Cockburn's style is sardonic and self-deprecating, yet utterly precise, illustrating how a singular, restless intelligence navigated a world constantly on the brink of catastrophe. For those who wish to understand how journalism, politics, and personal conviction collide, this autobiography presents an irresistible and brilliantly told testament to a life defiantly, gloriously lived.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130915234011,"sku":"2026200011940-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6a2c9b45-8916-4056-9260-2d54f520f997.png?v=1786591785","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011940-secondhand-in-time-of-trouble-an-autobiography","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
