"Read one passage each night to your children to protect them from the brain-snatchers and dummyfication zombies of America's news media of the living dead." - Greg Palast, author of _The Best Democracy Money Can Buy_

"_War Made Easy_ exposes and explains the lies and deceptions that have misled our nation into vile and bloody disasters from Vietnam to El Salvador to Iraq; it reveals the frequent cowardice and culpability of the U.S. media that often behaves as a propaganda arm of the Pentagon." - John Stauber, author of _Weapons of Mass Deception_ and _Banana Republicans_
