New Releases by Michael Moore

Will They Ever Trust Us Again? brings together hundreds of never-before-published letters that Mike has been sent - from GIs serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, from troops in US bases, from their mothers, wives and friends back home, from veterans who''ve fought around the globe - to show the reality beneath the political spin and TV propaganda. Their politics may vary from the Bushwhacked to the patriotic, but they all feel let down and lied to by government, they know the human cost of waging wars for the rich - and now they''ve had enough. Explosive, angry, moving and funny, this book shows who''s really winning the battle for hearts and minds on the front line.

A military history of McClellan''s ambitious drive on Richmond and the genius and fortune by which Lee foiled it

Every book tells a story . . . And the 70 titles in the Pocket Penguins series are emblematic of the renowned breadth and quality that formed part of the original Penguin vision in 1935 and that continue to define our publishing today. Together, they tell one version of the unique story of Penguin Books. Multi-million selling author; award-winning filmmaker, performer, activist and scourge of political hypocrites everywhere, Michael Moore is nothing less than a global phenomenon. Stupid White Men - the book they tried to ban in the US - was published by Penguin in the UK in 2002 and has since sold well over 1.5 million copies. These hilarious and scorching extracts show exactly why Moore is the man that everyone has an opinion on.

Fahrenheit 9/11 is the scorching cinema sensation that sent waves of shock and awe across the globe. Now you can get the facts behind the most talked about film of the year. Here Mike gives you the full, explosive transcript of the smash hit that''s got the phoney President running for the hills - with extra outtakes that never made the final cut. He fires back at the critics with his own ''Fact Bible'' to prove that it''s all true, and gives us just a taste of the buzz that''s made this movie torpedo all predictions and become a worldwide phenomenon.

He''s the man everyone''s talking about. He''s taken on gun freaks, stupid white men and corporate crooks. Now Michael Moore is on a new mission: to get us of our behinds and kicking out the corrupt political elites who rule our lives.

Intended to serve as a handbook for people with liberal opinions to take back their country from the conservative forces in power, this book skillfully makes use of Michael Moore''s trademark brand of confrontational, exasperated humor to lambast the concocted threats and lies designed by the conservative right to stay rich and in control. On these pages no one is safe from Moore''s sharp-tongued critiques: corporate barons who have bilked millions out of their employees'' lifetime savings, legislators who have stripped away our civil liberties in the name of "homeland security," and even the ever-present right-wing brother-in-law who manages, year after year, through his babbling idiocy, to ruin Thanksgiving dinner. Una sarcástica y despiadada cruzada, este libro tiene una clara misión: acabar de una vez por todas con el mandato de George W. Bush, el hombre que se coló en la Casa Blanca gracias a los compinches de su papá. Moore no deja títere con cabeza a invitar al lector a ponerse manos a la obra para tratar de salvar al mundo de uno de los hombres más poderosos y nocivos del planeta. Llena de su humor característica, nadie escape de sus críticas: ni los negociantes, ni los legisladores, ni el cuñado que maneja a arruinar cada cena de familia con sus opiniones idiotas e conservadoras.

Michael Moore va néixer a Flint (Michigan). Als vint-i-dos anys va fundar The Flint Voice, un dels diaris alternatius més respectats del país. El 1989 va dirigir Roger & Me, en què demanava explicacions al director de la General Motors per una reestructuració que aquesta empresa havia fet a Flint, la seva ciutat natal. En un altre documental, The Big One, va donar a conèixer les malifetes de les grans empreses i els polítics, i va obligar la Nike a deixar d’utilitzar els nens d’Indonèsia com a mà d’obra barata. En el polèmic documental Bowling for Columbine, guanyadora d’un Oscar el 2003, Moore es pregunta per què els Estats Units és el país amb més morts per armes de foc sense cap més altra guerra que l’odi racista, la repressió policial i el crim organitzat. Ha escrit diversos llibres que han estat un autèntic èxit de vendes, com Estúpids homes blancs (Empúries, 2003) i Ei, ¿on s’ha ficat el meu país? (Empúries, 2004). També és el director del documental Fahrenheit 9/11, que pel seu contingut polèmic ha tingut problemes de distribució als Estats Units però que ha estat rebut amb aplaudiments a Europa, on l’han guardonat amb la Palma d’Or del Festival de Cannes 2004. Fora els que manen!L’americà mitjà cada dia treballa més, i durant més hores, però en aquesta època de reduccions corporatives i favoritismes polítics, l’estabilitat laboral, un nivell de vida passable i una jubilació digna s’estan convertint en objectius inabastables. A Fora els que manen!, amb el mateix sentit de l’humor irreverent d’Estúpids homes blancs i Ei, ¿on s’ha ficat el meu país?, el controvertit director de Bowling for Columbine i Fahrenheit 9/11 ataca sense embuts els peixos grossos de la política i del món empresarial globalitzat, que són els seus pitjors enemics, i llança una acusació corrosiva i implacable contra els quatre que remenen les cireres. I, com ha fet moltes vegades després, deixa al descobert els punts febles dels qui es creuen els amos del món.

Fresh on the heels of his runaway "New York Times" bestselling "Stupid White Men," Moore returns with a bold but hilarious act of sedition as he seeks to overthrow the "Thief in Chief" and effect the kind of grass roots change that will shake the country.

Based on an American television show, of the same name, it brims with Michael Moore''s special brand of subversive humour that melds outright silliness with poignant realisation. From the oh–so–obvious Serial Killer Next Door who''s ignored by his neighbours: to Mike enjoying some quality time with Dr. Kevorkian : to raising money for Charles Keating, this is a compilation of classic TV Nation that''ll make you laugh and think at the same time. This book is a must read for anyone and everyone.

Americans today are working harder, working longer and yet for most of us, in this time of ruthless downsizing and political cronyism, job security, a decent standard of living and a comfortable retirement are becoming harder and harder to find. In this brilliantly funny and right-on-target diatribe, irreverent everyman Michael Moore gives his own bold views on who''s behind the fading of the American dream. Whether issuing Corporate Crook trading cards, organizing a Rodney King Commemorative Riot, sending a donation to Pat Buchanan from the John Wayne Gacy fan club (which was accepted) or trying to commit former right-wing congressman Bob Dornan to a mental hospital, the in-your-face host of TV Nation and director/star of Roger & Me combines an expansive wit with biting social commentary to make you think and laugh at the same time. In hardcover, Downsize This! stormed the bestseller lists of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle and others. Given Michael Moore''s enormous -- and growing -- constituency, this trade paperback edition brings his unique perspective on the nation to an even greater audience.
