Even if you support the right wing's coup d'etat in Washington, you have to read this book to be up to date on what's really going on. From the theft of Florida's electoral votes in 2000 to the deregulation and privatization that led to the California energy crisis (and the record-setting Northeast blackout) to the voting-machine scam that's being set up in many states for 2004, American-born BBC journalist Greg Palast has covered it all in these collected columns and features - now in an updated paperback edition.
