From the authors who brought you Weapons of Mass Deception, John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton, it’s…The Best War Ever. I have it on good authority that the book…

  • offers a compelling study to date of the propaganda campaign that led us to war
  • gives necessary context and background on the administration’s use of leaked information and ad hominem attacks to discredit their critics
  • is the first to compile and compare various accountings of Iraqi and U.S. casualties as a result of this conflict
  • offers a preview of the likely next round of propaganda aimed at rationalizing the failures to bring stability and democracy to Iraq

Check out the video project timed to the book launch.

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
