Advance Praise for "War Made Easy"
"If you want to help prevent another war (Iran? Syria?), read
War Made Easy now. This is a stop-the-presses book filled with
mind-blowing facts about Washington's warmongers who keep the
Pentagon budget rising. It would be funny if people weren't dying.
War Made Easy exposes the grisly game and offers the information we
need to stop it."
--Jim Hightower, author of Let's Stop Beating Around the Bush
"If you don't have fun reading Norman Solomon's War Made Easy,
you don't know how to have a good time. This exceptional book will
drive our bonkers leaders and their mouthpieces in the U.S. press
crazier than they are already. Read one passage each night to your
children to protect them from the brain-snatchers and
dummy-fication zombies of America's news media of the living
dead."
--Greg Palast, author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy
"America's mainstream media didn't launch the war on Iraq, but
the Bush administration sure couldn't have waged it without them.
The great lesson of War Made Easy is that, alas, such journalistic
malfeasance is nothing new; our media has a history of enabling
Washington's foreign misadventures. Perhaps if enough people
read--and act on--this book, it won't be so easy next time."
--Mark Hertsgaard, author of On Bended Knee: The Press and the
Reagan Presidency
"Norman Solomon is one of the bravest and best American
journalists, especially when he is dissecting the topics of war and
the media. War Made Easy exposes and explains the lies and
deceptions that have misled our nation into vile and bloody
disasters from Vietnam to El Salvador to Iraq; it reveals the
frequent cowardice and culpability ofthe U.S. media that often
behaves as a propaganda arm of the Pentagon. A sobering and
essential book that Americans should read, share, and
discuss."
--John Stauber, coauthor of Weapons of Mass Deception
