The New Rulers of The World

Abstract

John Pilger is one of the world\u27s most renowned investigative journalists and documentary film-makers. In this fully updated collection, he reveals the secrets and illusions of modern imperialism. Beginning with Indonesia, he shows how General Suharto\u27s bloody seizure of power in the 1960s was part of a western design to impose a \u27global economy\u27 on Asia. A million Indonesians died as the price for being the World Bank\u27s \u27model pupil\u27. Ina shocking chapter on Iraq, he allows us to understand the true nature of the West\u27s war against the people of that country. And he dissects, piece by piece, the propaganda of the \u27war on terror\u27 to expose its Orwellian truth. Finally, he looks behind the picture postcard of his homeland, Australia, to illuminate an enduring legacy of imperialism, the subjugation on the First Australians
