In this groundbreaking work, Amelia Alderson Opie exposes the various forms of lying that pervade society, from the harmless white lies we tell to spare someone’s feelings, to the more pernicious false claims made by those in power. Opie argues that lying is not only morally wrong, but also detrimental to the social fabric, and provides advice on how to recognize and combat lying in all its forms.
