Cromwell's book challenges prevailing notions. It cuts through mainstream garbage on issues mattering most. They include war and peace, corporate employment, eroding democracy, environmental destruction, and the constant struggle between good and evil.
Historian Mark Curtis is best known for his own ground-breaking exposes. He calls Cromwell's book "truly essential reading."
It "focus(es) on one of the key issues, if not THE issue of our age: how to recognize the deep, everyday brainwashing to which we are subjected, and how to escape from it. This book brilliantly exposes the extent of media disinformation, and does so in a compelling and engaging way."University of West Scotland Media Politics Reader John Robertson said:
"This is a tremendously comprehensive review of all the ways in which mainstream Western media distort our view of reality in the key context of foreign affairs."

"The bad faith, which enables our media and many of its consumers to think that we are 'the good guys.' This is an ideal introduction for any reader and, also, is a very useful source for students in schools, colleges and universities."
