| Summary | Annotation This book is a critique not just of government deception, but of democratic political institutions and the way they work. It analyzes justifications and explanations for how and why lying occurs in politics. It examines the implications for democratic practice and documents cases where US and UK governments have allegedly lied to the public, such the Iran-Contra affair, arms trade to Iraq, the war on drugs, and the Northern Ireland security policy. Finally, the book explores what can be done to limit government deception. |
