Description'You want something heartwarming? Buy a puppy. But if you want just the facts, ma'am - facts rarely cuddly or cute - here's your book. Before you enter these pages, I should warn you: I am not a nice man. But I'm not prejudiced: it's not just Oval Office residents that make me gag, it's holders of offices in state capitols, in corporate towers and in a few churches too . . .' Author descriptionGreg Palast is an award-winning investigative journalist and the author of the international bestseller The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. Palast's reports first gained international attention in his column, Inside Corporate America, for The Guardian & Observer. Now Palast's investigative reports broadcast internationally on Newsnight and appear regularly in Harper's magazine. Palast earned his MBA from University of Chicago, where he studied under the tutelage of ultraconservative Nobel Prize winner Milton Friedman. A native of California, he divides his time between New York and London. Greg Palast has broken some of the most infamous stories of the past decade, including: - How the Bush Family stole the 2000 election in Florida; - How Bush killed the FBI's investigation into the financing of terrorist organizations by Saudi Arabia; - How Enron cheated, lied, and swindled its way into an energy monopoly |
