"THE FRONTMAN Bono (In the Name of Power) by Harry Browne

(*Harry Browne's previous book "Hammered by the Irish" examined the Pitstop Ploughshares 2003 disarmament of a U.S. warplane at Shannon Airport en route to the invasion of Iraq, their trial and acquittal).

NO WRISTBAND NEEDED, JUST COME DOWN ON THE EVENING

"Harry Browne: Bono, Frontman for the Rich? Bono has built a second career as a voice for the poor and disempowered of the world as the figurehead of global anti-poverty campaigns. But behind the PR, the U2 singer has been busy defending the status quo with paternalistic neoliberal policies in Africa, his own multinational business interests and hobnobbing with America's most powerful neocons. Harry Browne, author of The Frontman: Bono (In the Name of Power) will discuss Bono's role as frontman for the rich and powerful and how his political advocacy has made the world worse."

A scathing critique of celebrity's most famous philanthropic frontman.

Come down and listen to Harry Browne in conversation on Friday 14th June at Rough Trade East.  http://www.roughtrade.com/events/2013/6/125
