935 Lies: The Future of Truth and the Decline of America’s Moral Integrity by Charles Lewis

In 935 Lies, investigative journalist Charles Lewis exposes how deception has become embedded in American politics, media, and business. Taking its title from the 935 false statements made by U.S. officials in the lead-up to the Iraq War, the book traces decades of misinformation that have shaped public opinion—from Vietnam to Watergate to the financial crisis. Lewis examines how the erosion of truth and accountability threatens democracy itself and explores what citizens and journalists can do to restore moral integrity in public life.
