Summary
An investigation into the new war on truth and how to fight back
Welcome to the Post-Truth era—a time in which the art of the lie is shaking the very foundations of democracy and the world as we know it. The Brexit vote; Donald Trump’s victory; the rejection of climate change science; the vilification of immigrants; all have been based on the power to evoke feelings and not facts. So what does it all mean and how can we champion truth in in a time of lies and ‘alternative facts’?

“D’Ancona’s punchy polemic asks questions that are urgently topical and undeniably important.” –Guardian
D’Ancona’s punchy polemic asks questions that are urgently topical and undeniably important. – John Gray * Guardian *To anyone who is invigorated by urgent writing, Matthew d’Ancona’s work is as startling as a cold shower. – Nick Cohen * Observer *Elegantly written and erudite, it’s also a rousing rallying cry. – Jonathan FreedlandIt’s officially BRILLIANT. And badly needed. – Emily Maitlis
