==Life==
Ian Cobain was born in Liverpool. A journalist since the early 1980s, he is currently an investigative reporter for ''The Guardian''. He has been shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for Journalism and won the Martha Gelhorn Prize and the Paul Foot Award for investigative journalism, as well as two Amnesty International journalism awards,〔(Sivia Casale, Ian Cobain and Malcolm Evans )〕 and, with fellow Guardian journalist, Richard Norton-Taylor, a Human Rights Campaign of the Year Award from Liberty.〔Liberty, (List of previous winners )〕
He has reported on six wars, including the 1991 Gulf War, and the wars in Afghanistan〔''The Times'', (America will take no prisoners )〕 and Iraq.〔''Guardian'', (Who in Whitehall approved 'gloves-off' interrogation after 9/11? )〕 In September 2005, he revealed that the UK was supporting the CIA’s rendition programme〔''Guardian'', (Destination Cairo: human rights fears over CIA flights )〕 and in 2006, when he joined the BNP as part of an undercover investigation, he ended up being appointed central London organiser for the party, a position he swiftly resigned.〔''Guardian'', (Exclusive: inside the secret and sinister world of the BNP )〕
Cobain's 2012 book ''Cruel Britannia'' documents a remarkable continuity of British involvement in torture over the last six decades: in Palestine, during and after World War II, in Cyprus, Kenya, Northern Ireland and in extraordinary rendition in the War on Terror.〔Reviews: John Kampfner, (Revelations of Britain's true record on torture make absorbing but depressing reading ), ''Observer'', 4 November 2012; Heather Brooke, (The closed circle: Britain's culture of secrecy ), ''New Statesman'', 31 January 2013; Clive Stafford Smith, (A history of Britain's involvement with torture is essential reading ), ''Guardian'', 23 November 2012; Stephen Howe, (This admirable investigation into torture in the fraying empire will overturn myths ), ''The Independent'', 24 November 2012.〕 Sir David Hare described it as “one of the most shocking and persuasive books of the year”, Peter Oborne in the ''Spectator'' said, “Carefully researched and well-written… () should be congratulated for addressing a subject which much of the rest of Fleet Street has been determined to ignore",〔''Spectator'', (Shameful home truths )〕 and the ''Sunday Times'' identified it as a “must-read” and declared it, “a fine study of the role Britain has played in the business of torture”. The book won the Paddy Power/Total Politics Debut Political Book of the Year award.〔Total Politics, (Paddy Power & Total Politics Political Book Awards )〕
