Críticas

"Reading Seumas Milne, one often has a feeling of physical relief: finally someone not only sees the truth but articulates it with thrilling erudition and moral clarity. Tracking a decade of ruinous lies from the right and unheeded warnings from the left, this is a book with an urgent message: it's time to win more than arguments." Naomi Klein Praise for The Enemy Within: "Seumas Milne's masterly investigation ... is one of the finest political exposes in our time." John Pilger "Riveting. It knocks spots off the usual 'whodunnit'." Guardian "An astonishing book." Nation "A tribute to detailed journalistic investigation ... strips away the myths and lies." New Statesman

Reseña del editor

From the outset, Seumas Milne's Guardian essays on the West's war on terror provoked angry denunciations on both sides of the Atlantic. A decade on, the advocates of violent capitalism have been silenced. From class to religion, Blair to Obama, Palestine to Pakistan, bank bailouts to the Arab uprisings, the rise of China to the wave of change in Latin America, Milne exposes the breakdown of the new world order - and draws out the prospects for the emerging politics of the future. In a media culture dominated by eager apologists, Milne has consistently written against the grain. This book offers a compelling perspective on the convulsions that have brought us to today's crisis - and a powerful indictment of a global and corporate empire in decline.
