Lies destroy. Disinformation tears at the fabric of democracy.
A Firehose of Falsehood: The Story of Disinformation breaks down disinformation tactics and offers tools for defending and restoring truth. From Darius I of ancient Persia (522-486 BCE), to blood libel of the Middle Ages, to Soviet disinformation tactics and modern election deniers, Teri Kanefield and Pat Dorian show how tyrants and would-be tyrants deploy disinformation to gain power. Democracy, which draws its authority from laws instead of the whim of a tyrant, requires truth. For a democracy to survive, its citizens must preserve and defend truth. Now that the Internet has turned what was once a trickle of lies into a firehose, the challenge of holding on to truth has never been greater. A Firehose of Falsehood offers readers these necessary tools.Teri Kanefield is a lawyer and the author of ten traditionally published books. Her book awards include the Jane Addams Peace Association Book Award and California Reading Association Silver Honor Book Award. She has published more than 50 articles, essays, and stories in mainstream publications. Her legal analysis has appeared in The Washington Post, USA Today, and other major outlets. Her private law practice was dedicated to representing indigents on appeal from adverse rulings. She lives in San Luis Obispo, California.
