Tariq Ali (b. 1943, England)
«Ali remains an outlier and intellectual bomb-thrower; an urbane, Oxford-educated polemicist.»
— Observer

Tariq Ali has written more than two-dozen books on world history and politics—the most recent of which are The Clash of Fundamentalisms, The Obama Syndrome and The Extreme Centre—as well as the novels of his Islam Quintet and scripts for the stage and screen. He is a long-standing member of the editorial committee of New Left Review and lives in London.
