Summary: A monument to bias.
Review: Pilger's monumental left-wing bias distorts everything he writes and this book is no exception. His social conscience is completely one-sided and his indignation is selective. forget it.

Summary: Heroes: a powerfully moving view of recent world history
Review: This book describes Pilger's interpretation of some of the most significant and tragic world events of the last forty years, but instead of focussing on presidents, generals and politicians, Pilger's account is told as it ought to be, through the lives of ordinary people, unfortunate enough to be caught up in extraordinary and sometimes horrific situations. It serves as a reminder that no human being in the world is any more or less important than any other human being - something which world leaders apparently need to be reminded of.
