<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>War Is A Lie</i> is a thorough refutation of every major argument used to justify wars, drawing on evidence from numerous past wars, with a focus on those that have been most widely defended as just and good. This is a handbook of sorts, an engaging, always informative manual that can be used to debunk future lies before the wars they're deployed to justify have any chance to begin. Veteran antiwar activist Daniel Ellsberg calls <i>War Is A Lie</i> "a terrific tool for recognizing and resisting war lies before it's too late." This updated and expanded edition outlines lessons from America's most recent wars, what can be done to end warmaking, and an epilogue that analyzes new trends in war lying and in resistance to it. No one to whom you give this book can claim they haven't been warned!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>David Swanson's <i>War Is A Lie</i> should be required reading.
