tireless." -Publishers Weekly

and profit." -Arundhati Roy, author, The God of Small Things

George Seldes, and I.F. Stone into the electronic age."
-Howard Zinn, historian and author, A People's History of the United States

"Pick up this book, shake your head in disbelief and disgust as you read it,
and then...go raise some hell!" -Michael Moore, Academy-award winning
