The Best War Ever: How We Got from 9/11 to Iraq (and Beyond?)

Membership ticker

Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

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
