This would be a catastrophic event, risking war, bloodshed and global economic collapse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this passionate, but rationally argued essay, the authors attempt to avert a potential global catastrophe by showing that the grounds for war do not exist, that there are no Iranian nuclear weapons, and that Iran would happily come to a table and strike a deal. They argue that the military threats aimed by the West against Iran contravene international law, and argue that Iran is a civilised country and legitimate power across the Middle East.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor years Peter Oborne and David Morrison have, in their respective fields, examined the actions of our political classes and found them wanting.

Notions of the greater good and \"putting something back\" now seem absurdly idealistic, such is the pervasiveness of cynicism in our politics and politicians. Of course, self-interest has always played a part, and Oborne will show how our current climate owes much to the venality of the eighteenth century. But in these allegedly enlightened times should we not know better? Do we not deserve better from those who seek our electoral approval?

With the arrival of Boris Johnson at No 10 in 2019 began a new and unprecedented epidemic of deceit. In The Assault on Truth, a short and powerful polemic, Oborne shows how Boris Johnson lied again and again in order to secure victory so he could force through Brexit in the face of parliamentary opposition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJohnson and his ministers then lied repeatedly to win the general election in December 2019. The government’s woeful response to the coronavirus pandemic has generated another wave of falsehoods, misrepresentations and fabrications. Oborne has brought the book fully up to date, to the end of Johnson's time in No 10. The scale and shamelessness of the lying of the Johnson administration far exceeded the lying about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and other issues under Tony Blair. This book argues that the ruthless use of political deceit under the Johnson government was part of a wider attack on civilised values and traditional institutions across the Western world, especially by Donald Trump in the USA.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Johnson and Trump methodology of deceit is about securing power for its own ends - even when they get exposed for lying, they shrug it off as a matter of no consequence. Oborne assesses whether their time in power has tainted their successors. It matters because all Western institutions are built around the idea of integrity and accountability. This means 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IHRC Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57712756064640,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/8575\/6864\/files\/assaultontruth.jpg?v=1774446867"},{"product_id":"complicit-britains-role-in-the-destruction-of-gaza-by-peter-oborne","title":"Complicit: Britain's Role in the Destruction of Gaza by Peter Oborne","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Sunday Times BestsellerFrom one of Britain’s most celebrated political journalists, a fearless and forensic indictment of British complicity in the destruction of Gaza. In a gripping narrative informed by original reporting, Peter Oborne tells how Britain’s Conservative and Labour parties converged to back Israel’s criminal assault—in the process occupying disturbing common ground with the far right. Rather than challenge this political cartel, British media colluded in its misrepresentations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe shocking result was that, as British authorities helped Israel set Gaza as well as international law aflame, almost everything the public was told about this momentous conflagration was untrue. When citizens still turned out in their hundreds of thousands to demand a ceasefire, roiling the nation’s politics as they stayed faithful to the ancient British tradition of popular protest in defence of liberty, the political-media machine bared its fangs. The investigative reporting in this book exposes the methods by which peaceful demonstrations were smeared as “hate marches”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormerly chief political commentator at the Daily Telegraph and Spectator, Oborne knows the British establishment from within.
