Ebook: War Is a Lie

"a terrific tool for recognizing and resisting war lies before it's too late." --Daniel Ellsberg

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.
