Tell Me No Lies: Investigative Journalism That Changed the World
John Pilger
From Booklist
At a time of growing skepticism about the press throughout the world, Pilger, an award-winning British journalist, offers a powerful reminder of its proud history of revealing truths. This collection of investigative journalism of the past 60 years includes pieces by well-regarded reporters such as Seymour Hersh, Edward R. Murrow, Jessica Mitford, and Eric Schlosser. He begins the collection with Martha Gellhorn’s 1945 dispatch from Dachau, chronicling the release of prisoners and their horrific accounts, and ends in 2002 with Edward W. Said’s coverage of Islam and terrorism. Pilger prefaces each piece with a biographical sketch and some context for the reportage on McCarthyism, the My Lai massacre, the thalidomide scandal, the war in Chechnya, the dubious 2000 U.S. presidential election, and the war on Iraq, among other topics. Pilger’s collection is well timed and will appeal to readers concerned about media consolidation and the ability of the press to discern and tell the truth. Vanessa Bush
