If you want to learn how your tax dollars were spent jailing refugees on Manus Island, read Freedom, Only Freedom by Behrouz Boochani. It’s a great book, and it taught me some of the realities-done in our name-by our politicians      fuente

A Very Stable Genius
Donald J. Trump's Testing of America
Philip Rucker - 2020-01-21
Calificación de Goodreads
This gripping and comprehensive book by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists takes readers inside the Trump White House for a fully characterised account of the chaos, scandal and destruction of his presidency's first term. Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews and more than 200 sources, including senior administration members and first-hand witnesses who have never spoken before, the authors reveal unvarnished decision-making, unscripted calls with foreign leaders, and the lengths officials went to protect themselves and the president. The book also exposes the impact of Robert Mueller's investigation into the administration's loyalty to the president rather than the country.

Writing from Manus Prison
Behrouz Boochani - 2018-07-31
Calificación de Goodreads
El 2013 Behrouz Boochani fue ilegalmente detenido en la isla de Manus, un centro de detención de inmigrantes cerca de la costa de Australia. En la cárcel, donde ha pasado seis años, sin herramientas ni espacio para la creación, Boochani escribió heroicamente a través de WhatsApp este libro. Un libro sobre la violencia y las injusticias que se cometen en nuestro nombre con la excusa de la ley. La obra se publicó en Australia y ganó los premios más importantes del país convirtiéndose en una denuncia y visibilizando una vergüenza internacional. Uno de los libros más vendidos en 2019 es el grito de resistencia y el extraordinario testimonio de un refugiado. Una voz que representa las vivencias de tantos refugiados y migrantes apátridas encarcelados en todo el mundo. Behrouz Boochani es periodista y un reconocido defensor de los derechos humanos, ganador de un Media Award de Amnistía Internacional de Australia, se le han otorgado también los premios del Diaspora Symposium Social Justice Award, del Liberty Victoria 2018 Empty Chair Award y del Anna Politkovskaya de periodismo.

Great book Essential reading for all Australians who want to know how our gov't treats innocent people simply looking for a safe place to be: we put them in shocking danger and drive them mad. Probably not read by those devout Christians @ScottMorrisonMP and @Peter@PeterDutton_MP      fuente
