Author: Arthur Ponsonby
Year: 1928
NOTE: This contains three files. One is a scan of the actual book (the 1942 edition) - but this is incomplete (and has a brief intro added). The second PDF is a brief biography of the author, MP Arthur Ponsonby. The third PDF is the entire book, converted from a long HTML page found here: http://www.vlib.us . Falsehood in War-time, Containing an Assortment of Lies Circulated Throughout the Nations During the Great War , written by Arthur Ponsonby in 1928 [1] lists and refutes pieces of propaganda used by the Allied Forces (Russia, France, Britain and the United States) against the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria). [2] After the Second World War, a new edition of the book was given the updated title Falsehood in War-Time: Propaganda Lies of the First World War . Falsehood in War-time identifies the role propaganda played in World War I, in general and specific terms and lists over 20 falsehoods that were circulated during the First World War. Indicative of his worldview Ponsonby regards these falsehoods as a fundamental part of the way the war effort was created and sustained, claiming that without lies there would be “no reason and no will for war”.
