In October 1999 fifty thousand people occupied the streets in a successful effort to shut the World Trade Organisation's ministerial meeting.
Five Days... takes you on to the streets of Seattle with on-the-spot reporting and photographs. But it also looks at the broader issues raised by the protest: the secretive and undemocratic practice of the WTO, the trampling on rights to assembly and free speech and the menace to individual liberties from globalisation.
Written by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair, published by Verso Books 2000.
