Greg Palast » Vultures’ Picnic

After some tense discussion (Penguin was partly owned by Gaddafi, so you can imagine...), my publisher has given me the unusual right to give all my readers, for no charge, the entire first chapter of my new book Vultures’ Picnic.
Even if you don't get the book, I really want you to read the first chapter.

Never before, in my decades as an investigator, have I taken you with me undercover, on the hunt into the lives, secret files, shopping bags and back rooms of the cruel and whacky One Percent. And, for the first time, I've decided to let you in on Greg Palast, to open up my life and the inside of my operation, without censorship or BS.

In Chapter One, you will first encounter

• the MI6 agent who carried the bribes for British Petroleum and the Kalashnikovs;
• the billionaire's ex-trophy wife ready to burn the bed and open the files;
• the Radioactive Brick from address unknown, with documentation of a massive fraud by Tokyo Electric Power, arriving ten months before Fukushima melted;
• the secret memo of Treasury Secretary Geithner waiting for the go-ahead from Goldman Sachs and Citibank;
• the CIA spook turned billionaire with a score to settle and a devastating document from Kazakhstan;
• and a punch in the face just before an appearance on Amy Goodman's show.
