Unmasking modern imperialism

Through his investigative journalism, John Pilger unravels the propaganda of the West’s war on terror and exposes the reality of western designs to impose a global economy on Asia. He also sheds light on the dark legacies of imperialism, including the subjugation of the First Australians. This book is recommended for readers who want to gain a deeper insight into the historical and political context that shapes our world today.

Description

John Pilger is one of the world's renowned investigative journalists and documentary filmmakers. In this classic book, with an updated introduction, he reveals the secrets and illusions of modern imperialism. 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'. In a shocking chapter on Iraq, he delineates the true nature of the West's war against the people of that country. And he dissects, piece by piece, the propaganda of the 'war on terror' to expose its Orwellian truth. Finally, he looks behind the picture-postcard image of his homeland, Australia, to illuminate an enduring legacy of imperialism: the subjugation of the First Australians.
