Most impressive, here, is the clever use of media (cinema & art)to exemplify some rather complicated, political notions. Overall, very nicely written with an even, logical progression from cover to cover. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/200407?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
