Más información sobre el libro

The investigation reveals how a 1998 CNN story about U.S. soldiers using nerve gas in Vietnam became widely accepted. Jerry Lembcke uncovers that the myth of Operation Tailwind was rooted in popular culture fiction, flawed memories, and the influence of conspiracy theories from the ultra-Right wing, fundamentalist Christian groups. His work highlights the interplay between media narratives and public perception, illustrating how misinformation can take hold in society.
