Hidden Agendas

Unchallenged, it operates to protect its interest with a cynical disregard for people – shaping, and often devasting, millions of lives.By unravelling the hidden histories of contemporary events, Pilger allows us to read between the lines. He also celebrates the eloquent defiance and courage of those who resist oppression and give us hope for the future. Tenaciosly researched and written with passion and wit, “”Hidden Agendas”” will change the way you see the world. —- ISBN: 9780099741510
