520	1		_a"Here is a vital account of what transpires when a government believes its own deceptions and the news media fails to challenge them. The Best War Ever is about a conflict that was devised in fantasy and lost in delusion. It highlights the futility of lying to oneself and others in matters of life and death. And it offers lessons to the current generation so that, at least in our time, this never happens again."--BOOK JACKET.
