The New Rulers of the World

I picked this up in the Waterstones sale quite cheaply. I quite like John Pilger, but was annoyed with myself when I missed his last TV documentary – a documentary that Michael Green, Chairman of the TV company that made and aired the programme, attacked!
The book is in four sections, covering many of the issues today, with good sections on the “War on Terror” and a fascinating chapter on the hidden disgrace that is Australia’s contiuing treatment of its Aboriginal people.
It’s remarkable how current everything in the book still is, considering that it was published in April this year.
In particular in continually lambasts the media’s lack of objectivity, and the ease with which stories are presented in a simplistic and one-sided light.
Recommended.
