A review by beccakatie
The New Rulers of the World by John Pilger
4.0
John Pilger’s writing is thought provoking and powerful, and for being nearly 20 years old, still rings painfully true. He shines an important light on human rights abuses and the hypocrisies of the west, holding figures of power to account. His work is engaging and sympathetic, well structured and fully researched.
Although it was disappointing that the book only contained 4 chapters, it meant that each chapter had the space to be fully researched and explained. No crucial or emotive parts of the story had to be cut out, Pilger was able to linger on both the statistics and imagery for maximum effect.
