Book

Unspeakable / Chris Hedges on the most forbidden topics in America with David Talbot.

Hedges, Chris, (author.). Talbot, David, 1951- (author.).

Summary:

"Hedges offers his unvarnished views on topics rarely aired by the corporate media, including the hopeless corruption of our political system and the urgent need for a third-party rebellion; the difficulty of challenging the prevailing story lines of the Washington elite and the Israeli government; the disturbing parallels between current US conditions and the collapse of Balkans society into fascist violence during the 1990s; the criminalization of poverty; how many of the best and brightest in black America are siphoned from school to prison; nd how the pornography industry reflects the most dehumanizing qualities of global capitalism."--Dust jacket flap.
