Description
The Assault on Truth: Boris Johnson, Donald Trump and the Emergence of a New Moral Barbarism The Assault on Truth is a powerful polemic by Peter Oborne, a former journalist and author. In this book, Oborne examines the epidemic of deceit under the Johnson government, which he believes has been matched only by the lying of Tony Blair about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Oborne assesses the impact of this deceit on Western institutions, arguing that an assault on truth is an assault on the rule of law, state institutions, and the fundamental idea of fairness, and even democracy itself. Oborne also explores the role of Donald Trump in this broader attack on civilised values, and assesses whether the time of these leaders in power has tainted their successors. This book is a timely and important analysis of the dangers of political deceit and its consequences for democratic societies. By examining the tactics and motivations of Johnson and Trump, Oborne sheds light on the scale and shamelessness of the lying that has become a hallmark of their administrations.
