Description
Explores the long tradition of fake facts, in their various guises, in American history. This resource is one of the first historical studies to place the long history of lies and misrepresentation squarely in the middle of American political, business, and science policy rhetoric. Cortada and Aspray present a series of case studies that describe how lies and fake facts were used over the past two centuries in important instances in American history. The authors give readers a perspective on fake facts as they appear today and as they are likely to appear in the future. --From publisher description.
