La macchina del saccheggio. Signori della guerra, magnati, trafficanti e il furto sistematico delle ricchezze africane
Come è possibile che il continente più ricco sia anche il più povero? Petrolio, diamanti, oro, rame, ferro. Una fortuna e al contempo una maledizione. Dal Congo all'Angola, dalla Guinea alla Nigeria, le immense risorse africane non hanno ancora saputo porre un freno alla piaga della povertà. Perché? E soprattutto, dove vanno a finire i guadagni che scorrono a fiumi dallo sfruttamento delle risorse naturali? Cercando una risposta a queste domande, Tom Burgis si è spinto fino al cuore dell'Africa nera per incontrare magnati, smascherare governi-ombra e seguire flussi di denaro. Il risultato è un libro inchiesta che inchioda tutti alle proprie responsabilità, fino a far tremare istituzioni e multinazionali di tutto il mondo.

Cuckooland
Hoe de rijken de waarheid manipulerenOnderzoeksjournalist Tom Burgis geeft in Cuckooland een schokkende inkijk in een wereld van corruptie, machtswellust, fake news en manipulatie.Van Kathmandu tot het Kremlin en van Zwitserse banken tot Buckingham Palace: overal ter wereld worden we gemanipuleerd, vaak zonder dat we het doorhebben. Journalist Tom Burgis legt een wereld bloot waarin de machtige welgestelden alles kopen, inclusief de waarheid en het nieuws…Drie jaar lang onderzocht hij een spoor dat hem dieper en dieper in Cuckooland zoog: de plek waar een kleine groep zeer rijken bepaalt welke verhalen er worden verteld over oorlog, geld en macht , en – nog belangrijker – wat er niet wordt verteld. Tijdens zijn research jaagde Burgis op oligarchen, sprak hij met geheime bronnen en traceerde hij enorme sommen geld die heen en weer geschoven werden tussen multinationals, ex-Sovjet-dictaturen en de heersende elite van het Westen.Cuckooland biedt een schokkende inkijk in een wereld van corruptie, machtswellust en manipulatie.‘Burgis’ boek is geniaal en aangrijpend. Oligarchen zullen dit boek lezen en ervan balen dat hun tactieken worden ontmaskerd.’ Catherine Belton, auteur van De mannen van Poetin‘Cuckooland, een waargebeurde thriller, onthult een geheime wereld waarin ongemakkelijke waarheden kunnen worden witgewassen als je over de juiste connecties en middelen beschikt.’ Anne Applebaum, auteur van De schemering van de democratie

Cuckooland
'Stand by for fireworks as it hits the shelves' SUNDAY TIMES 'If Orwell were with us today, he'd be writing books like this' PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE 'Breath-taking and jaw-dropping' PETER FRANKOPAN 'A true-life thriller' ANNE APPLEBAUM From the bestselling author of Kleptopia comes a true story about Cuckooland - a world where the rich can buy everything - including the truth. Everywhere, the powerful are making a renewed claim to the greatest prize of all: to own the truth. The power to choose what you want reality to be and impose that reality on the world. For three years, Tom Burgis followed a lead that took him deeper and deeper into Cuckooland - the place where the rich own the truth. The trail snaked from the Kremlin to Kathmandu, Stockholm to the Steppe, from a blood-soaked town square in Uzbekistan to a royal retreat in Scotland. Burgis hunted down oligarchs, developed secret sources and traced vast sums of money flowing between multinational corporations, ex-Soviet dictators and the west's ruling elites. And he found one man who wanted the power to bend reality to his will. This book tells an astonishing story: a tale of secrets and lies that reveals how fragile that truth can be. Whether it's in Kazakh torture chambers or the UK's High Court, the lords of Cuckooland are seizing control of the truth. They decree what stories may be told about war and money and power, what we are permitted to know - and more importantly, what we are not. From the bestselling author of Kleptopia, Cuckooland is a deeply reported work of non-fiction that reads like a thriller. It is a story of how globalisation and technological revolution have combined to imperil the foundation of free societies: that the truth belongs to the many, not the few.
