Let
Live
By John
Madeley
about the book
When environmental
journalist David Fulshaw takes time off from his paper
to cycle in Africa he gets more than he bargained for.
What he finds is a scandal -- the scandal of how climate
change is wrecking people's lives.
He meets people who have been forced from their homes
because of the climate change that the West is largely
causing. He writes critical articles about the West's
failure to curb carbon emissions, and is damning of United
States policy. His articles are strong enough to attract
the attention of the CIA who decide that he cannot be
allowed to besmirch the name of the US. A plot is hatched
to remove him.
Taking the reader on a journey through West and East Africa
this is a gripping insight into the impact of climate
change. But this is more than one person's journey. Rather
it has profound parallels with events in the world, with
David Fulshaw's experiences illustrating a wider truth.
A novel can sometimes reveal truth in a profound way.
"Let Live" is one such novel.
Set in 2007, in the dying stages of the George W Bush
presidency, "Let Live" is a powerful story that draws
on the author's considerable experience of the issues
and countries that feature in the book. It is a strong
challenge to the West's policies on climate change.
‘ Entertaining, sharp, penetrating, an incisive
account of the damage that climate change is doing to
the poor. A searing indictment of the policies of Western
country governments. Read it....and demand action ’
