Disinformation is a plague on modern society — a grave threat to democracy and to individual freedom everywhere. Nowehere has disinformation been more sinister than in Russia, used first and foremost in an attempt to deceive and subjugate the Russian people, and of course for malign activities in Ukraine and around the world. Factory of Lies is a vitally important book because the most effective way to fight disinformation, media manipulation and propaganda is to expose it as clearly as possible. We need more brave, investigative work like this if we ever hope to live in free societies, with honest discourse.
