For eight years CounterPunch has been uncovering America and the world in some of the best radical writing and exposes in decades. Thousands of subscribers eagerly await the twice- monthly newsletter. Hundreds of thousands visit the CounterPunch website daily. Why? For its radicalism without cant. Because it's fresh, jargon-free, and full of facts you won't find anywhere else. In this book the editors of the newsletter present a blow-by-blow chronicle of political life during the the last ten years. Cockburn and St. Clair go behind the scenes, telling the real story of the war on drugs, the rise of racial profiling, the crimes of the CIA, the crackdowns on civil liberties, the machinations of politicians and corporate law firms and the corruption of public interest groups. But CounterPunch also reports on the resistance to the corporate takeover of American politics: the rise of the Green Party, the anti-globalization movement, the fight to abolish the death penalty and a new anti-war movement that brought together people from the Right and the Left. This is radical reporting from the trenches, a no-holds-barred account of the political, social and environmental scene entering the new millennium.
