Union Jackboot: What Your Media and Professors Don't Tell You About British Foreign Policy (low budget, third world edition) Paperback – August 25, 2018
Purchase options and add-ons
In this controversial new book, Matt Alford (Reel Power) asks T.J. Coles (Britain’s Secret Wars) a series of penetrating questions about Britain’s global role in the age of Russia, Brexit, and Trump. How much influence does Britain really have in the world? Why do we sell arms to everyone under the sun? Why are we sponsoring genocide in Burma?
Coles drops one truth bomb after another on a range of topics, including ‘free trade’, modern slavery, the benefits system, Jeremy Corbyn, anti-Semitism, and the global reptilian conspiracy (which Coles audaciously denies!). Backed-up with over 200 scholarly footnotes, Coles applies razor-sharp logic to some of the most pressing questions of our times: how to spot propaganda, how to dissect it, and where to find truth in the era of fake news and top-down disinformation.
Dispersed among Matt’s devil’s advocate questioning are side-splitting, rib-tickling gags about war crimes and genocide, as well as breath-taking photos of political graffiti. This daring tome is a must-have for activists, international relations students, and in fact anyone remotely interested in politics and world affairs.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2018Book was arrived on time and it was good quality.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2019I picked up this book because I enjoyed Professor Alford's previous books on Hollywood & military propaganda. It is fitting today is the anniversary of the US/UK invasion of Iraq. The book details how Western media is essential to dominate the minds of British subjects and portray acts of vile greed as gallant acts of humanitarianism.
The format is makes the very complicated British power apparatus easier to understand. Alfords devil's advocate interview style keeps Coles answers complete and detailed. The subject matter is quite dark but did I laugh several times while reading it (David Icke fans be forewarned) and was pleased Alford & Coles named names. Tony Blair should be ashamed of himself and David Cameron should stay in his shed. I can highly recommend this book and would like to see a similar book about Canada's involvement in Western empire, disaster capitalism and endless wars.
Also, this is the first print-on-demand book I've bought and thus the first with a birthday (12 March 2019).

Rating five to rebalance an earlier review with one star, which was not even a verified purchase. Charlatans.
