War Is A Lie (2nd ed.)
type: Product
description: War Is A Lie 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 War Is A Lie "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!

Read it." —Medea Benjamin, author and peace activist "Five years ago, David Swanson let us all in on a little secret: Everything we believe to be true about war is a big fat lie… actually, a series of lies that are intertwined and reinforce each other until the lies are the only thing we can see.
