Editorial Review:
From America's most influential political blog, a grand survey of the world since 9/11.Tomdispatch.com has established itself as the go-to blog for contemporary US politics, and the favored web platform for radical commentators from Noam Chomsky to Howard Zinn. Its powerful, no-holds-barred features draw a huge response from the public and resonate throughout the global media, acting as a touchpaper for debates which subsequently become headline news. This comprehensive volume offers readers a chance to catch up on some of the finest political analysis of our age, including trenchant accounts of the two Bush administrations' catastrophic imperial adventures in Afghanistan and Iraq; Guantánamo, extraordinary rendition and its apologists; and Hurricane Katrina, global warming, black gold and the rise of Hugo Chávez.Introduced, arranged and with additional commentary throughout by the blog's founder Tom Engelhardt, The World According to Tomdispatch is the essential primer for anyone seeking illumination and guidance along the highways and byways of our post-9/11 world.Contributors include:

Rating: - The Essential Collection of Post 9/11 Journalism--What You Didn't Read in the MSM
Since TomDispatch's beginnings as an e-mail newsletter TomDispatch.com editor and creator Tom Engelhardt sent to a few select friends in which he culled news stories and commentaries from throughout the world--stories that curiously weren't appearing in the American mainstream media--TomDispatch.com has acted as the definitive source of reporting and commentary on our post-9/11 world and the spread of American imperialism throughout the world.

Rating: - Eye-Opening, Thought Provoking and Heartening
This book is a must for all shelves! Where else could you in one book read the outstanding thinking, insight and prose from such writers as Rebecca Solnit, Noam Chomsky, Chalmers Johnson, Dahr Jamail, Nick Turse, Mike Davis and Michael Klare among so many others, including Tom Engelhardt himself?!
This book is eye-opening and thought provoking. It is also very heartening to read the type of journalism that is so lacking in our mainstream media today. At least there are some writers out ... Read More
