When Presidents Lie
By Eric Alterman
Post by Migl aka Miguel
In this book, Eric Alterman explains deeply why presidents lie, when presidents lie, how they lie, what they lie, and more. It includes the Yalta Conference, Cuban Missile Crisis, the Gulf of Tonkin, the Iran-Contra Scandal, and Bush with the post truth presidency. I’d rate this book 3.7 out of 5 stars. Sometimes, the chapters got boring. But mostly, it was great!!!
I would recommend reading this book in middle school, because it is pretty complicated. But my favorite chapter was the Cuban Missile Crisis. Well, if I went to detail with that, uh, you’d want to read it NOW!!!
Would you read this book? Do you like history and politics?

that sounds good. I really want to read that book. Does it explain how to detect when a president lies?
ReplyDeleteTom's curiosity was The Cuban Missile Crisis.
