The Politics of Lying
About this book
"Secrecy and deception by those in power is commonplace in contemporary politics. They seem to be even more pervasive and are generating widespread cynicism among the public. Yet this is the first work to give this phenomenon of 'official lying' pride of place and subject it to critical assessment. It also breaks new ground in combining the perspectives of political philosophy and political sociological analysis in that assessment."--BOOK JACKET.
