Beat the Devil is a 1951 thriller written by British journalist Claud Cockburn under the pseudonym James Helvick. Cockburn used the pseudonym because, although he had left the British Communist Party in 1947, he was still considered a "Red" during the early years of the Cold War, which was rife with anti-communist sentiment. Beat the Devil was Cockburn's first novel, and the first work of fiction that the long-time political journalist had written since the 1920s. The title was later used by Cockburn's son Alexander for his regular column in The Nation.
