Hidden agendas

the long version

In this book John Pilger strips away the layers of deception, dissembling language and ommision 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. Unchallenged, it operates to protect its interests with a cynical disregard for people - shaping, and often devastating, millions of lives.
