5. UK Books The Killing of Osama Bin Laden
I've long admired the skill and independence with which Hersh has brought important and concealed information to light. - Ahmed Rashid, New York Review of Books

Vintage Hersh. It takes issue with every part and participle of the story about Osama bin Laden's death. - Times Literary Supplement
Hersh's account is more plausible than the official version and more thought-provoking than the movie Zero Dark Thirty.

Blurb
"It's easy to imagine the end of the world," Fredric Jameson has remarked, "but we cannot imagine the end of capitalism." Jacobin editor Peter Frase argues that technological advancements and environmental threats will inevitably push our society beyond capitalism, and Four Futures imagines just how this might look. Extrapolating possible futures from current changes the world is now experiencing, and drawing upon speculative fictions to illustrate how these futures might look, Four Futures examines communism, rentism, socialism, and exterminism—or in other words, the socialisms we may reach if a resurgent.
