Cuckooland : where the rich own the truth / by Burgis, Tom,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Behind a boardroom table at one of London's most fearsome law firms sits the man who wants to own the truth. He is wealthy, influential, a friend to princes and prime ministers. There is no door in the land that doesn't open to him. But who is he really? How did he make his money? The search for the answer leads investigative reporter Tom Burgis from Putin's St Petersburg to a blood-soaked town square in Uzbekistan, from Kazakh torture chambers to a Kathmandu cabal of Maoists. Places where reality is beaten into submission. The trail does not stop there. It leads on into the democracies, where the truth is said to be sacred -- but where today it is for sale. An entire industry has taken shape to serve those who are seizing the greatest prize of all. The power to choose what they want reality to be and impose that reality on the world. They decree what stories may be told about war and money and power, what we are permitted to know -- and what we are not. 'Write your book and you'll see what happens to it', says the rich man behind the boardroom table. Perhaps Cuckooland has been pulled from the shelves, censored or pulped. If not, inside is the thrilling story of the heist of our times: the takeover of reality itself.

Reconciling History A Story of Canada [electronic resource] : by Wilson-Raybould, Jody.aut; Danesh, Roshan.aut; cloudLibrary;
One of Indigo's Top 10 History Books of 2024 and Top 100 Books of 2024 • One of the Toronto Star’s 25 books to read this season From the #1 national bestselling author of 'Indian' in the Cabinet and True Reconciliation, a truly unique history of our land—powerful, devastating, remarkable—as told through the voices of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. The totem pole forms the foundation for this unique and important oral history of Canada. Its goal is both toweringly ambitious and beautifully direct: To tell the story of this country in a way that prompts readers to look from different angles, to see its dimensions, its curves, and its cuts.  To see that history has an arc, just as the totem pole rises, but to realize that it is also in the details along the way that important meanings are to be found.  To recognize that the story of the past is always there to be retold and recast, and must be conveyed to generations to come. That in the act of re-telling, meaning is found, and strength is built. When it comes to telling the history of Canada, and in particular the history of the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, we need to accept that the way in which our history has traditionally been told has not been a common or shared enterprise. In many ways, it has been an exclusive and siloed one. Among the countless peoples and groups that make up this vast country, the voices and experiences of a few have too often dominated those of many others. Reconciling History shares voices that have seldom been heard, and in this ground-breaking book they are telling and re-telling history from their perspectives. Born out of the oral history in True Reconciliation, and complemented throughout with stunning photography and art, Reconciling History takes this approach to telling our collective story to an entirely different level.
