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 wars that have been most widely defended as just and good. This is a handbook of sorts, a manual to be used in debunking future lies before future wars have a chance to begin. For more information visit WarIsALie.org.

What people are saying

Review: War Is a Lie

User Review  - Paul Valente - Goodreads

Passionate and convincing polemic arguing for a world without war, filled with insights and damning evidence of state sponsored terrorism and murder. Only his argument that WWII was avoidable didn't convince me.

Review: War Is a Lie

User Review  - Bakari - Goodreads

War Is a Lie is a very well-written and thought out analysis and argument for how we have been constantly lied into war. Even if you don't agree with all the author's arguments, he definitely provides insight into how we need to stop viewing war as a solution to economic and political conflict.
