Review
"Powerrful...we are allowing our kids to be abused right under our noses, and we don't even know it" -- Doug Johnstone * Independent on Sunday * "A truly terrifying book...clearly written and forcefully argued" * Big Issue * "The assault on childhood in our corporate-dominated and profit-driven society, painfully dissected in this penetrating study, is a tragedy not only for the immediate victims but for hopes for a better future. It can be resisted, as Joel Bakan discusses. And it is urgent not to delay" -- Noam Chomsky
