Book Description :

Weapons of Mass Deception reveals: How the Iraq war was sold to the American public through professional P.R. strategies. |The First Casualty|: Lies that were told related to the Iraq war. Euphemisms and jargon related to the Iraq war, e.g. |shock and awe,| |Operation Iraqi Freedom,| |axis of evil,| |coalition of the willing,| etc. |War as Opportunity|: How the war on terrorism and the war on Iraq have been used as marketing hooks to sell products and policies that have nothing to do with fighting terrorism. |Brand America|: The efforts of Charlotte Beers and other U.S. propaganda campaigns designed to win hearts overseas. |The Mass Media as Propaganda Vehicle|: How news coverage followed Washington's lead and language. The book includes a glossary — |Propaganda: A User's Guide| — and resources to help Americans sort through the deceptions to see the strings behind Washington's campaign to sell the Iraq war to the public.
