"No War" is NOT a new book by Naomi Klein!

admin | 05.04.2005 16:37

A for-profit publisher in England has just released an anthology titled "No War". At first glance, it looks like an original new book by Naomi Klein. It is not.

A statement by Naomi Klein from www.nologo.org:

A for-profit publisher in England has just released an anthology titled No War. At first glance, it looks like an original new book by me. It is not.

The book contains one previously published magazine article by me that has been available free-of-charge on my website for eight months. I encourage readers interested in this article, titled “Baghdad Year Zero,” to download it at www.nologo.org.

I am very concerned that readers will mistakenly believe that they are purchasing original writing, despite my best efforts to convince the publisher to clearly label the book what it is: an anthology of previously published articles by multiple authors.

No War is not my book; I had no role in choosing the title, and will accept no revenue from its sales.

I am currently writing an original non-fiction book that will be published in 2006.

Please direct any inquiries to  media@nologo.org.

Sincerely,

Naomi Klein

No offense, Naomi, but you are published by HarperCollins which is part of the Evil Empire - Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation (SkyTV, Fox News and other quality propaganda mongers). Hardly a charitable venture.

Just curious how at article somebody writes can end up being published in a book against ones will. How does a worldly aware person allow the copyright of their writing to end up in enemy hands?

the book cover does make it look like Naomi is the author - and indeed she is listed as Author on lots of webpages - you can even buy the book through the scottish parliament shop!
