Who's Saying What about The Best War Ever? [1]
Submitted by Judith Siers-Poisson [2] on

Jon Gingerich wrote a lengthy and insightful review of Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber's recently released book, "The Best War Ever [3]" for odwyerpr.com [4], the on-line companion to O'Dwyer's PR Report Monthly Magazine. Gingerich's piece begins: "Much like beauty, victory is in the eye of the beholder. This case is made clear in 'The Best War Ever,' a scathing analysis of the Bush Administration's misinformation campaign leading up to and during the war in Iraq." He goes on to highlight the thorough research presented in the book on topics like the role of the Iraqi National Congress and its disgraced leader Ahmed Chalabi in the build-up to war, Bush administration spending on PR and propaganda to sell the war and occupation to both Iraqis and Americans, and the role of the media in not bringing the deceptions and distortions to light. Reviews and a selection of interviews in other publications can be seen here [5]. A reader in Holland, MI just sent us a note saying "Great book -- WOW -- an eye-opener!" There are also comments on the Amazon.com page [6] for the book -- we hope that when you read "The Best War Ever" you will add a comment of your own!
