Description

Greg Palast digs deep to unearth the ugly facts that few reporters working anywhere on this planet nowadays have the courage or ability to cover. From East Timor to Waco, Karachi to Santiago, he has exposed probably the most most egregious cases of political corruption, corporate fraud, and financial manipulation, globally. His uncanny investigative skills in addition to his acerbic wit and 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, all over the world. This exciting new collection brings together some of Palast’s most powerful and influential writing of the past decade. His columns in the Observer have a cult following and he made headline news when he went undercover for the Observer to break open the ‘Lobbygate’ scandal of corruption inside the Blair Cabinet. Included here are his reports on that story, which earned him the distinction of being the first journalist ever to be for my part attacked on the floor of Parliament by a prime minister; his celebrated Washington Post exposé on Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris’s stealing of the presidential election in Florida, which made him “a legend and a hero on the Web” (Alan Colmes / Fox Radio) when it ran in Salon.com; and contemporary stories on George W. Bush’s pay-offs to corporate cronies, and the business-created ‘energy crisis.’ Also included in this volume are new and prior to now unpublished material, tv transcripts, photographs, and letters.
