- Synopsis
- Alterman (English, City U. of New York-Brooklyn College) helps dispel two myths: that US presidents would never lie to the people; and that presidential lying began only with the current occupant of the position. Having a mere 500 pages, he does not go back farther than Franklin D. Roosevelt, and leaves out all the subsequent presidents except Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Reagan, and of course Bush the second.
