Harold Pinter, CH, CBE was an English playwright, screenwriter, actor, director, political activist and poet. He was among the most influential British playwrights of modern times. In 2005 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was dying of cancer and gravely ill at the time of the Nobel Prize Ceremony and could not attend. However, he delivered his lecture via video link and it is a recommended tour-de-force on the evils of US Foreign Policy through the latter part of the 20th Century to the invasion of Iraq.
Pinter's insights into the world of Deep Politics were astute.
