Women], yet between 1992 and 2011 only 9% of negotiators at peace tables were
women [UN Women]. Meet two women from The Institute for Inclusive Security, who

34] -- On Tues., Apr. 12 at
7:30 PM come to Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse, 30 W. North Ave., Baltimore
21201, DAVID SWANSON will discuss his book WAR IS A LIE, a thorough refutation
of every major argument used to justify wars, drawing on evidence from numerous
past wars, with a focus on those that have been most widely defended as just
and good. This is a handbook of sorts, an engaging, always informative manual
that can be used to debunk future lies before the wars they’re deployed to
justify have any chance to begin. For this edition of the book, the original
2010 version has been updated and expanded with material on lessons from
America’s most recent wars, more pointers on what can be done to end war
making, and an epilogue that analyzes new trends in war lying and in resistance
to it. No one to whom you give this book can claim they haven't been warned!
Swanson is an author, activist, journalist, public speaker, and radio
host. He blogs at DavidSwanson.org andWarIsACrime.org. Go to http://WarIsALie.org.

class has always declared the wars; the subject class has always fought the

subject class has had nothing to gain and everything to lose--especially their
lives." Eugene Victor Debs
