About this title: John Pilger is one of the world's most renowned investigative journalists and documentary film-makers.

Beginning with Indonesia, he shows how General Suharto's bloody seizure of power in the 1960s was part of a western design to impose a 'global economy' on Asia. A million Indonesians died as the price for being the World Bank's 'model pupil'.

Description: ix, 246p., first printing textured boards in decorated dust jacket. Unread, unhandled, probably (to judge from our source) a review copy. Sept. 11" changed nothing except the rate of US takeovers. Pilger has a gift for concise statement. He has interviewed Indonesian survivors of the massacres of 1965, important stepping-stone to the situation today, also talks about white Australian domination of black Australians, from dialog, friendships, and critical method. Cobbling together quotes from pp ... read more
"A closer look at the impact of US policy on many small (and large but overlooked) places in the world. It is a counterpoint to conventional history and I require it when I can. Students love it and are gratefully shocked. They are especially surprised by the intense look at US/Indonesian relations."
"i was recommended pilger as a more readable author than chomsky and i certainly had less difficulty getting into this clearly constructed book with it's 4 concisely laid out tales of social woe. pilger's narrative line woven w/facts keeps the story engaging and morbidly educational. probably owing to his journalistic approach (as opposed to chomsky's analytical) there is also a great sense of 'the man in the field' much of the time which adds another dimension of (perceived at least) reality. definitely a clear starting point for anyone wanting to clear thru the b.s. and myths that surround globalisation but not wanting to be bogged down by unnecessary and non-essential detail."
"No conspiracy theory here, all main stream reporting. Pilger walks the line between the on the ground situation of those affected by post imperial agenda and those reaping the benefits (as well as pulling the strings). A fast read and informative."
