About this ebook
‘Razor sharp research ... shows why every US citizen should be quaking in their boots’ Metro, Books of the Year
‘Bill Hicks with a press pass’ The List
Award-winning guerrilla journalist Greg Palast has gone where most have been too scared to unearth the ugly truth about the haves and have-mores who rule our world ... America.
Here he reports from behind enemy lines to reveal just how bad it’s got in a dangerous regime: how elections are bought and free speech comes at a price. How citizens are ruled by fear. And how our brave new globalized world means the poor get hammered, while corporations silently buy up the planet. It’s not pretty – but it’s all true ...
‘Palast is one of the few journalists writing who has both the anger and the wit to offer himself up as a persuasive – and more importantly, readable – voice of the left’ Observer
‘A rollercoaster ride from Baghdad to New Orleans and Osama bin Laden’s cave to the back rooms of the Pentagon’ Big Issue
‘Very funny ... For anyone who thinks that no-one from the US knows what’s going on, Palast is the perfect riposte’ Guardian
