Silent Coup

As European empires crumbled in the 20th century, the power structures that had dominated the world for centuries were up for renegotiation.

Silent Coup is the result of investigative journalists Claire Provost and Matt Kennard's reports from 30 countries around the world, and an explosive guide to the rise of a corporate empire that now dictates how resources are allocated, how territories are governed, and how justice is defined.
