Description

Fearless and forensic, this incendiary indictment from one of Britain's most celebrated political journalists lays bare the full extent of British complicity in the destruction of Gaza.

In a gripping narrative informed by original reporting, Peter Oborne tells how Britain's Conservative and Labour parties converged to back Israel's criminal assault-in the process occupying disturbing common ground with the far-right.

Rather than challenge this political cartel, British media overwhelmingly colluded in its misrepresentations. The shocking result was that, as British authorities helped Israel set Gaza as well as international law aflame, almost everything the public was told about this momentous conflagration was untrue.

When citizens still turned out in their hundreds of thousands to demand a ceasefire, roiling the nation's politics as they stayed faithful to the ancient British tradition of popular protest in defence of liberty, the political-media cartel bared its fangs. The investigative reporting in this book exposes the methods by which peaceful demonstrations were smeared as 'hate marches'.

Formerly chief political commentator at the Daily Telegraph and Spectator, Oborne knows the British establishment from within. In this book he names names and provides receipts. His watchword is accountability-for atrocities, and their accomplices.
