Deep in the  forests, under the pretense of battling Maoist guerillas, the Indian  government is waging a vicious total war against its own citizens-a war  undocumented by a weak domestic press and fostered by corporations  eager to exploit the rare minerals buried in tribal lands. Roy takes  readers to the unseen front lines of this ongoing battle, chronicling  her months spent living with the rebel guerillas in the forests. In  documenting their local struggles, Roy addresses the much larger  question of whether global capitalism will tolerate any societies  existing outside of its colossal control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A riveting account . . . a necessary book by one of India’s most distinctive voices.\" -\u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e\"A riveting account . . . a necessary book by one of India’s most distinctive voices.\" -\u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A bell-clear exposé of corporate greed and governmental malfeasance that should--if there is any justice in the world--provoke a furious backlash in the name of human dignity.” -\u003ci\u003eKirkus \u003c\/i\u003e(starred review)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Informed, impassioned, at times strident, and fleet and fascinating when describing life on the ground among the rebels, Roy’s prose will both rouse and ruffle . . . she ultimately points to a global system in which all we’re all crucially involved and implicated.\" -\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e (starred review)\u003cb\u003eArundhati Roy\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe God of Small Things\u003c\/i\u003e,  winner of the prestigious Man Booker Prize.
