Reviews
Reviews
"Meticulously researched, lucidly written, and scarifying. A compelling wake-up call not just for the US but liberal democracies worldwide."
Gareth Evans, Former Foreign Minister of Australia & President Emeritus of the International Crisis Group
"Set as the US is convulsed by deadly ICE raids, and as the White House seeks to impose a new world order, Charley’s book examines how distortions of reality are already changing our daily lives and threatening our future – his findings acting as a stark warning over the consequences of acquiescence."
Evan Williams, BAFTA and Emmy award-winning investigative journalist and director, London, UK
