Award-winning investigative journalist Greg Palast digs deep to unearth the ugly facts that few reporters working anywhere in the world today have the courage or ability to cover. From East Timor to Waco, Karachi to Santiago, he has exposed some of the most egregious cases of political corruption, corporate fraud, and financial manipulation, globally. His uncanny investigative skills as well as 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, worldwide. 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 personally 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 Internet' (Alan Colmes / Fox Radio) when it ran in Salon.com; and recent stories on George W. Bush's pay-offs to corporate cronies, the payola behind Hillary Clinton and the faux energy crisis. Also included in this volume are new and previously unpublished material, television transcripts, photographs, and letters. Greg Palast writes for The Observer and is BBC Newsnight's special investigations reporter. His undercover reports have won him Britain's top prizes for investigative and business journalism as well as the Financial Times David Thomas Prize. Salon.com named his scandal-busting report on the presidential race in Florida 'Political Story of the Year' and he has just been named 'Guerrilla of the Year' by the Guerrilla News Network. T
