Covers lots of stuff that Mark Curtis et. al. have touched on plus a lot more but all of it absent from the m.s.m. narrative.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

The propaganda against Syria was unrelenting; Christopher Hitchens was especially vehement.

Haha. Exactly what I was tryting to find out. I'm not sure he's written a book (I can't find any by him so far) but he has written several articles; this is the main page for his stuff and they all seem to be Syria related and long so it may add up to book length.

I'll keep having a dig around to see what I can find. The other book they reference is
Burning Country - Syrians in Revolution and War Paperback by Robin Yassin-Kassab which is essentially regime change propaganda.

Thanks for the particle ..

Nothing appears in my book searches using the name. If he hasn't written it he should have!
