An amazing collection of carefully documented lies circulated in Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and America during the Great War - jacket front. A compelling exploration of the use of propaganda and deceit in the conduct of war. Topics include: Serbia and the murder of the Archduke; Invasion of Belgium as cause of war; Germany's sole responsbility; the criminal Kaiser; the crucified Canadian; the Lusitania; atrocity stories; faked photographs; doctoring of official papers; and what we would now call "fake news."
