War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death

by Norman Solomon

 

BuzzFlash Recommendation (excerpt)

 

 

 

We found a review of this book that expressed our opinion:

 

" Over the years, Norman Solomon has distinguished himself as one

of the pre-eminent analysts of the American media and political

'culture.' An everyman's scholar whose knowledge derives from both

exhaustive research and first-hand experience, his insights are always

cogent and honest. In 'War Made Easy,' Solomon dissects the

time-proven slogans and propaganda techniques that have been used by

Administration after Administration to -- in effect -- motivate the

American people against themselves and their own best interests -- not

to mention those of citizens in many other nations. And Solomon 'calls

out' president after president for their 'dupes' and backs up his

castigations with cold, hard history.

 

" His analysis of the conjunction/collusion of the media and the

body politic in this process is especially enlightening...and

frightening. In short, this is a book that every American who cares

about kin and country should read; and every citizen who sees beyond

our borders simply must. At times scathing but never preachy, 'War

Made Easy' is a set of tough truths for tough times. And better still,

it is written for us all: One doesn't need a master's degree in

politics to understand Solomon's words. A fine book by a fine human

being. "

 

Norman Solomon is an expert tour guide through the minefield laid out

be leaders who betray this nation into unnecessary loss of life, for

secondary reasons that they don't reveal to the public.

Other Reviews

 

" 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
