celiapowell's review against another edition
4.0
Totally absorbing (in a horrifying way, a lot of the time) - I did find the first two thirds more interesting than the final third about the 80s political scene.

4.5 stars. Well worth reading. The first half is more compelling than the second (especially the beautiful chapter about Pilger’s memories of Sydney growing up), but the second half is also worthwhile. Am definitely less confused about oddities of industry concentration and Australia’s relationship with the US now.
