The New Rulers of the World
John Pilger £10.00
Pilger's television film The New Rulers of the World was a debunking of the myth of globalisation. Reporting form Indonesia, he revealed how General Suharto's bloody seizure of power in the 1960s was part of a western design that was just the beginning of the imposition of a 'global economy' upon Asia.
Now Pilger has collected both original work and expanded versions of his recent essays on power, its secrets and illusions in a book that illuminates the nature of modern imperialism.

Heroes

The heroes of this classic narrative are the many ordinary people he has witnessed coping with their lives in difficult and often brutal conditions: dissidents in the Soviet Union; those struggling for universal freedoms in Vietnam, Cambodia, Africa, India, the Middle East and Central America.

Hidden Agendas
John Pilger £8.99
Pilger strips away the layers of deception, dissembling language and omission that prevent us from understanding how the world really works. From the invisible corners of Tony Blair's New Britain, to Burma, Vietnam, Australia, South Africa and the illusions of the 'media age', power , he argues, has its own agenda. It operates to protect its interests with a cynical disregard for people - shaping, and often devastating, millions of lives. This book will change the way you see the world.

Distant Voices
John Pilger £8.99
The centrepiece of this new, expanded edition of his bestselling Distant Voices is 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.
