GUEST MEDIA ALERT: FREEDOM NEXT TIME – AN EXTRACT FROM JOHN PILGER’S NEW BOOK <\/p>\n
John Pilger’s new book, Freedom Next Time<\/em> (Bantam Press, 2006; http:\/\/www.johnpilger.com\/<\/a>) has just been published. Containing chapters on Diego Garcia, Palestine, India, South Africa and Afghanistan, it is a devastating indictment of brutal state-corporate power, and a heartening account of how people around the world are challenging that power.<\/p>\n In a recent review of Freedom Next Time<\/em>, Mark Curtis wrote: “The array of interviews with the voiceless and abused provides an indispensable corrective to the litany of disinformation we are fed by the media.” (http:\/\/books.guardian.co.uk\/review\/story\/0,,1788937,00.html<\/a>)<\/p>\n The section on Palestine – The Last Taboo – is one of the most powerful, compassionate and courageous we have seen on the issue anywhere. It is a 100-page antidote to what former BBC Middle East correspondent Tim Llewellyn has called “the tyranny of spurious equivalence” in media coverage. This really is must-read journalism.<\/p>\n We asked John Pilger if we might publish the moving extract below as a guest media alert and he has very kindly agreed. We recommend it and the book to our readers unreservedly.<\/p>\n Best wishes<\/p>\n The Editors<\/p>\n THE LAST TABOO<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" (from my e-mail) June 7, 2006 GUEST MEDIA ALERT: FREEDOM NEXT TIME – AN EXTRACT FROM JOHN PILGER’S NEW BOOK John Pilger’s new book, Freedom Next Time (Bantam Press, 2006; http:\/\/www.johnpilger.com\/) has just been published.
