Armed Madhouse
by
Greg Palast
(Dutton, 2006)


Collection of essays from Greg Palast (winner of the George Orwell Courage in Journalism Award and author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy), which includes "Who's Afraid of Osama Woolf?", "China Floats, Bush Sinks", "The Scheme to Steal '08", "No Child's Behind Left", and Other Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Class War.

The inside cover says:

"Greg's most provocative and caustically funny book yet, Armed Madhouse brings you the stories not allowed in The New York Times. Armed with more than fifty classified documents, confidential memos, and secret plans liberated from the Pentagon, FBI, World Bank, and ExxonMobil, Palast cuts through the TV news babytalk."

John Perkins says:

"Gripping, provacative, inspiring... [A] modern Declaration of Independence, this book exposes the abuses of today's global Empire nd calls on us to take action. Palast challenges us to replace a system he describes as 'un-American' with one that will create a sane, equitable, and sustainable world for our children."

Noam Chomsky says:

"Upsets all the right people."

Randi Rhodes says:

"The top investigative journalist in America -- and the funniest."
