"A well-executed, accessible primer on a difficult, timely subject." -- Booklist "Dorian's dynamic page layouts and retro-art style, with a flair for caricature, . manages to condense a thorny topic into an accessible guide." -- Publishers Weekly "A Firehood of Falsehood breaks down the mechanisms of the attack on democracy into its component parts with fierce clarity and narrative power. A Firehood of Falsehood is so lucidly written and analytically acute, that it will be treasured by readers from young adults to scholars in the field." --Jason Stanley, Professor of Philosophy, Yale University "A Firehose of Falsehood is an excellent primer on the history of 'the big lie.' This wonderfully told, alluringly illustrated 'story of disinformation' is a most relevant overview of the often sinister art of sowing alternative facts." --Hans Wiersma, Professor, Augsburg University, Minneapolis, Minnesota " A Firehose of Falsehood is an important, must read book for anyone who values democracy, free will, and the consent of the governed.
It's a highly engaging graphic world tour through the history and practices of propaganda that pulls back the curtain to show how authoritarians have used anti-democratic communication strategies to prop themselves up as 'strongmen,' in order to gain and retain power. Highly recommend!" --Jennifer Mercieca, Professor, Department of Communication and Journalism, Texas A&M University.
