A review by kosr
The New Rulers of the World by John Pilger
5.0
The Great Game
These four essays are twenty years old now, yet they hold resonance today like never before.
For anyone looking to become a journalist, this is the shining example of how it's done. Pilger is a monolith of truth, and has been a becon of hope amongst the propagated lies put out by state machinery. If, like me, you're new Pilger, I would start watching the decades worth of documentaries he has put out (nearly all on YouTube), especially The Coming War on China , which was only released a short while ago.
We need more people like Pilger to talk about the truth of why states do what they do, create the people they create, and harm the people they harm. It makes the reader feel ridiculous for thinking otherwise about matters regarding Indigenous Rights, the Iraq War, refugees, and other topics of similar portent nature.
Essential reading.
