Throughout his distinguished career as a journalist and film-maker, John Pilger has looked behind the `official` versions of events to report the real stories of our time. The centrepiece of this new, expanded edition of his bestselling Distant Voices is Pilger`s reporting from East Timor, which he entered secretly in 1993 and where a third of the population has died as a result of Indonesia`s genocidal policies. This edition also contains more new material as well as all the original essays – from the myth-making of the Gulf War to the surreal pleasures of Disneyland. Breaking through the consensual silence, Pilger pays tribute to those dissenting voices we are seldom permitted to hear.
