Description
Award-winning
investigative journalist Greg Palast digs deep to unearth the
ugly facts that few reporters working anywhere in the world
today have the courage or ability to cover.
From
East Timor to Waco, he has exposed some of the most egregious
cases of political corruption, corporate fraud, and financial
manipulation in the US and abroad.
His uncanny investigative skills as well as his no-holds-barred
style have made him an anathema among magnates on four
continents and a living legend among his colleagues and his
devoted readership.
This exciting new collection brings
together some of Palast's most powerful writing of the past
decade. Included here are his celebrated "Washington
Post" exposé on Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris's stealing
of the presidential election in Florida, and recent stories on
George W. Bush's payoffs to corporate cronies, the payola behind
Hillary Clinton, and the faux energy crisis.
Also included in this volume are new
and previously unpublished material, television transcripts,
photographs, and letters.
Book
Info
(Pluto Press) In this polemical indictment
of globalization and political corruption, Palast, (a reporter
with the BBC and London's Observer) updates the muckraking
tradition with some 21st century targets: the IMF, World Bank
and WTO, plus oil treaties, energy concerns and corporate
evildoers of all creeds.
