Opis

Published to coincide with a John Pilger television documentary on East Timor, this expanded edition of his bestselling book contains all the original essays - from the myth-making of the Gulf War to the surreal pleasures of Disneyworld - together with new material, the centrepiece of which is Pilger's reporting from East Timor, where a third of the population have died as a result of Indonesia's genocidal policies since 1975.
