A collection of essays covering various global issues at the time of publication, including the Gulf War, the National Health Service, Australia, Cambodia, and Russia, with a special emphasis on the author's reporting on East Timor and the Indonesian genocidal policies.

Abstract: 
Published to coincide with John Pilger's television documentary "Death of a Nation: The Timor Conspiracy," the centerpiece of Distant Voices is East Timor, which Pilger entered secretly in 1993 to expose the death of a third of the population as a result of Indonesia's genocidal policies.

"Distant Voices" also addresses the "quiet" death of the Labour Party and the myth-making of the Gulf War as well as a tribute to Noam Chomsky.

Breaking through the consensual silence, Pilger pays tribute to those dissenting voices we are seldom permitted to hear.
