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.
