<DIV>Prison scandals, terrorism, corporate fraud, election rigging&#8212;most likely you have heard something of the sort in the last ten minutes. But what is truth and what is part of the great &#8220;washout&#8221; of biased reporting? A celebration of lucid investigative reporting, selected by titan of the craft John Pilger, could come at no better moment.<BR><BR>Pilger&#8217;s book travels through contemporary history, from war correspondent Martha Gelhorn&#8217;s wrenching 1945 account of the liberation of Dachau to Edward R. Murrow&#8217;s groundbreaking excavation of McCarthyism to recent coverage of the war in Iraq. This homage to brave, often unsettling coverage features a range of great writing, from Seymour Hersh&#8217;s Vietnam-era muckraking to Eric Schlosser&#8217;s expos&#233; of the fast-food industry to preeminent theorist Edward Said&#8217;s writing on Islam and terrorism.<BR><BR>Unrepentant in its mission to expose the truth behind the messages that politicians, warmongers, and corporate-run media inculcate, Tell Me No Lies is essential for anyone who wants to understand the world around them objectively and intelligently. It&#8217;s not just a collection of high-quality reporting, but a call-to-arms to all who believe in honesty and justice for humanity.</div>
