Confronting the propaganda and lying machine of World War I, this book is a searing indictment of the cabal that betrayed a generation of American youth into a bloody, unnecessary conflict. Written by German-American patriot Ferdinand Hansen, it reclaims a segment of history suppressed by the victors, and exposes the unvarnished truth behind America's entry into the war. Hansen's meticulous sourcing and clear-eyed analysis reveals the powerful interests that dragged the United States into the conflict, with neither cause nor desire to fight. It uncovers a system of deceit, fear-mongering, and sensationalist journalism that poisoned the minds of a nation. More than a century later, this book's revelations are as urgent and relevant as ever. It exposes the pernicious influence of wealth, media, and political corruption on foreign policy decision-making. Hansen's book is an essential warning to those threatened by the propagandistic forces dominating the information landscape of our own time.
