A WAR AGAINST TRUTH: AN INTIMATE ACCOUNT OF THE INVASION OF IRAQ
Book ID/图书代码： 11340305B00379
English Summary/英文概要： “I write in a state of raging anger and shame about what I saw. A fraud was perpetrated on the entire world. A weak and defenseless nation was invaded and occupied by the greatest superpower in history on a pretext that is a transparent deception, a lie. This should bother someone. My friend Bassim and his whole family were killed. This bothers me.”
A classical scholar and one of the few journalists to have interviewed Saddam Hussein, Canadian reporter Paul William Roberts knows Iraq better than most. And he was in Baghdad when the bombs started falling. This is his exposé of the politics behind the recent war—and the brutal reality on the ground. It follows The Demonic Comedy, which the Globe and Mail called “funny, beguiling, poignant, powerful and very good indeed, [and] probably also has the unusual bonus feature of being true.”
“A War Against Truth is elegant, humane, moving and as funny as it can be; as profoundly tragic as it must be.”
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 下面是一篇知名加拿大记者的亲身经历有感而发的文章，它会改变你对那场新世纪里最有争议的战争的看法。
“我是在恼羞成怒地情况下写下我所见到的东西的，”PAUL WILLIAM ROBERTS说，“整个世界都被骗了，有史以来最强大的超级大国，打着明晃晃的捏造出来的借口，去侵略、占领一个弱懦、手无寸铁的民族。这应该是让某个人很不安的，我的朋友Bassim，他的一家老小全都被杀了，这让我很不安。”
为什么美国真得要侵略伊拉克？侵略行动究竟是怎样的呢？作为一位曾经花了二十年来报道中东的古典学者，也是为数不多的几位曾经采访过萨达姆·侯赛因的记者，PAUL WILLIAM ROBERTS，比我们绝大多数人更了解伊拉克。而战争伊始阶段，刚刚开始投放炸弹的时候，他就已经在巴格达了，正为《环球邮报》以及《哈泼斯》撰写报道。这是一篇披露伊拉克战争背后政治内幕以及伊拉克人民悲惨境遇真实境况的作品，而这一切世人却浑然不知。
ROBERTS到达伊拉克的时候，正巧赶上巴格达郊区发动的轰炸震慑行动。 在亲眼目睹故友努力要把一家人从被炸毁了的房屋废墟中救出来而
自己却一点都帮不上忙之后，他逃到了约旦。两星期之后，他乘着跟在美军大部队后面的采访车回到了伊拉克。在所谓的被解放了的伊拉克，ROBERTS邂逅了形形色色的人，其中就有萨达姆·侯赛因的秘书，兜售五价艺术品的打劫者，美国大兵和伊拉克民兵以及那些想着要0换换工作的秘密警察长官。他采访了躲藏起来的Tariq Aziz,发觉了个一集体坟墓，还在萨达姆·侯赛因豪华宫殿里的大床上睡过觉，当然也被美国情报局盘问过。
《向真理宣战》结合了旅行游记和历史教科书的元素，严厉地痛斥了布什总统政府所采用的新型资本主义，感人肺腑、热情洋溢，也很滑稽。这本书紧接着《环球邮报》称之为“滑稽、津津有味，辛酸、有力，真的很好” 的《魔鬼喜剧》出版。
