From Caliban To The Taliban - 500 Years Of Humanitarian Intervention, is a tale of capitalist expansion down through the ages, coupled with America’s global terror campaign waged "with goodwill to all". Newman begins by addressing the invasion of Iraq, and explains how the US administration set the tone for media reporting throughout the war, and how a picture of aggressive defence by Iraqi military was really just a shroud for the dropping of cluster bombs on the civilians. He then travels back in time and covers many periods in history. He manages to bring it all together into a complete storyline, which reeks of propaganda throughout the ages. Imperialism has always been the World's worst enemy, yet most of us never seem to see it in action, even before our eyes. Newman is one who can wake us up though. |
