The story of Berlin in the 20th century
Distant Voices
Location(s): East Timor (Timor-Leste)
Genre(s): Nonfiction
Era(s): 1990s
The centrepiece of this new, expanded edition of his bestselling Distant Voices is Pilger’s reporting from East Timor, which he entered secretly in 1993 and where a third of the population has died as a result of Indonesia’s genocidal policies. This edition also contains more new material as well as all the original essays – from the myth-making of the Gulf War to the surreal pleasures of Disneyland. Breaking through the consensual silence, Pilger pays tribute to those dissenting voices we are seldom permitted to hear.
