Brody debunks lies and shatters delusions by confronting false narratives and simplistic notions of war. Revealed is the perpetuation of military-created propaganda commonly amplified by legacy formats of the media. War, Brody argues, does not contain moral and noble causes nor glorifies or institutes an ideology; it weaponizes human instincts and makes monsters of everyone.
