Description:

This book examines how programs of deliberate government and corporate disinformation, and deception have led to an alarming state of confusion within society about what is true and what is not. Focused on America, the book posits that it is now essential for political and corporate interests to feed that confusion in order to survive. Written by award-winning journalist Peter Charley, whose previous book topped the Amazon bestseller lists in 2020, this book is essential reading in the era of alternative facts and at a time when media manipulation has reached unprecedented levels.

Review Quotes:

"Meticulously researched, lucidly written, and scarifying. A compelling wake-up call not just for the US but liberal democracies worldwide."

Gareth Evans, Former Foreign Minister of Australia & President Emeritus of the International Crisis Group

"Set as the US is convulsed by deadly ICE raids, and as the White House seeks to impose a new world order, Charley's book examines how distortions of reality are already changing our daily lives and threatening our future - his findings acting as a stark warning over the consequences of acquiescence."

Evan Williams, BAFTA and Emmy award-winning investigative journalist and director, London, UK
