The world-renowned British novelist John le Carr\u00e9 died on December 12 at the age of 89. Le Carr\u00e9 established himself as a master writer of spy novels in a career that spanned more than half a century. He worked in the British Secret Service from the late 1950s until the early ’60s, at the height of the Cold War \u2014 which was the topic of his early novels. His later works focused on the inequities of globalization, unchecked multinational corporate power and the role national spy services play in protecting corporate interests. His best-known books include “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold” and “The Constant Gardner.” Le Carr\u00e9 was also a fierce critic of the U.S. response to the 9\/11 attacks and the Bush administration’s invasion of Iraq. In 2010, he appeared on Democracy Now! for a rare in-depth interview. <\/p>\n
