 you articulate your reasons? What if someone challenges your position? Can 
 you defend it? Suppose someone told you that spending for the military is 
 good for the economy? What if they agreed that war is generally bad – but 
 there are exceptions, such as the ‘good war’ against Hitler and Japan, 
 or even the ‘war on terror’? How about the notion that war makes us 
 more secure? David Swanson’s new book, War Is A Lie, provides answers to 
 these questions and more. In 336 pages, he debunks every argument you’ve 
 heard used to justify, glorify, instigate, promote, prolong, and expand 
 war.” — Kim Carlyle, War Crimes Times.\n\n\n“In ‘War is a Lie’ 
 David Swanson carves himself a monumental task: to prove the truth of this 
 in every historical instance for which background is available. He 
 accomplishes his task, with a weight of evidence which can only be 
 described as devastating. Swanson sets forth a deceptively simple yet 
 provocative thesis: War is never the only choice, and always the worst 
 one.” — Ralph Lopez.\n
