This book uncovers the inner workings of one of the most powerful companies in the world: how it came to exert a poisonous secretive influence on public life in Britain how it used its huge power to bully intimidate & cover up & how its exposure has changed the way we look at our politicians our police service & our press. Rupert Murdochs newspapers had been hacking phones blagging information & casually destroying peoples lives for years but it was only after a trivial report about Prince Williams knee in 2005 that detectives stumbled on a criminal conspiracy. A five-year cover-up then concealed & muddied the truth. Dial M for Murdoch" gives the first connected account of the extraordinary lengths to which the Murdochs News Corporation went to "put the problem in a box" (in James Murdochs words) how its efforts to maintain & extend its power were aided by its political & police friends & how it was finally exposed. The book is full of details which have never been disclosed before in public including the smears & threats against politicians journalists & lawyers. It reveals the existence of brave insiders who pointed those pursuing the investigation towards pieces of secret information that cracked open the case. By contrast many of the main players in the book are unsavoury but by the end of it you have a clear idea of what they did. Seeing the story whole as it is presented here for the first time allows the character of the organisation which it portrays to emerge unmistakeably. You will hardly believe it." ...

Dialectic of Enlightenment is quite justifiably one of the most celebrated & often cited works of modern social philosophy. It has been identified as the keystone of the Frankfurt School of which Theodor Adorno & Max Horkheimer were the leading members & does not cease to impress in its wide-ranging ambition & panache. Adorno & Horkheimer addressees themselves to a question which went to the very heart of the modern age namely why mankind instead of entering into a truly human condition is sinking into a new kind of barbarism. Modernity far from redeeming the promises & hopes of the Enlightenment had resulted in a stultification of mankind & an administered society characterised by simulation & candy-floss entertainment. To seek an answer to the question of how such a condition could arise Adorno & Horkheier subjected the whole history of Western catagories of reason & nature from Homer to Nietzsche to a searching philosophical & psychological critique. Drawing on psychoanalytical insights their own work on the culture industry deep knowledge of the key Enlightenment & anti-Enlightenment thinkers as well as fascinating considerations on the relationship between reason & myth
- the rational & the irrational
- the authors exposed the domination & violence towards both nature & humanity that underpin the Enlightenment project.
