From the people who brought us You Are Being Lied To here is another engrossing and infuriating compilation of muckraking articles expos s and provocative claims. Some of the pieces in the book are very timely: an assertion that the government had advance warning of the September 11 terrorist attacks reports of additional gunmen at Columbine High School and additional detailshis contrarian collection will attract a diverse readership from conspiracy nuts to academ on Senator Bob Kerrey's actions in Vietnam. Most of the articles were written for this volume though some appeared previously in reputable magazines and journals (e.g. the Village Voice Toronto Globe & Mail and Journal of Medical Ethics). Not all the pieces deal with political issues; readers will find a wide range of social (Mad Cow Disease) financial (World Bank and the WTO) and cultural topics. A few familiar names appear among the contributors (Howard Zinn Paul Krassner) but most are investigative reporters not well known to the public.
