| Summary |
This volume is John Pilger's reporting from East Timor, which he entered secretly in 1993 and where a third of the population has died as a result of indonesia's genocidal policies. This edition also contains more new material as well as all the original essays - from the myth-making of the gulf War to the surreal pleasures of Disneyland. Breaking through the consensual silence, Pilger pays tribute to those dissenting voices we are seldom permitted to hear |
