President Bush is in London where he will face days of public protests by many tens of thousands of Brits outraged over US policies on Iraq. Our book Weapons of Mass Deception spent eight weeks on the New York Times extended best seller list despite little attention in the mainstream US media, but relative to population size its sales have been even stronger in the UK. According to the Times of London it is one of the best selling books on the war. The Stop the War Coalition is featuring it as a resource for peace noting that "Rampton and Stauber reveal in chilling detail how public relations experts in the Bush Administration acted deliberately to distort the news, to suppress the facts and to push an America still shocked by the attacks of 9/11 into war in Iraq. They build a damning case against the mainstream media, and its failure to challenge the White House over its most blatant lies and evasions."
