Raking in billions out of the tsunami, plundering Russia, exploiting Iraq - this is the chilling tale of how a few are making a killing while more are getting killed.

The Shock Doctrine is one of those books'' John Gray, Guardian ''A brilliant book written with a perfectly distilled anger, channelled through hard fact.
