Harold Pinter, CH, CBE (10 October 1930 – 24 December 2008), 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 must read tour-de-force on the evils of American Foreign Policy through the latter part of the 20th Century to the invasion of Iraq.
