Reviews
"A B Abrams has provided a signal service by taking 'fake news' about alleged atrocities out of the current affairs arena in which it is mainly discussed and into a much broader, deeper and in fact even more disturbing context. He perceptively traces the evolution of the use of fabricated atrocity narratives back to the first days of Western warfare and colonial expansion through to eleven more recent case studies. Chillingly, he chronicles how domination of the information space by Western powers through atrocity narratives has driven conflicts far worse in their outcomes than the atrocities alleged. Scholars, journalists and others with a serious interest in understanding international affairs will find this thought-provoking, ground-breaking analysis highly rewarding." PETER FORD, Former British Ambassador to Syria
"Atrocity Fabrication arms the reader with information to ponder and to think past mind-numbing patriotism. This is the third book that I have read by AB Abrams, so I am aware of the depth of research, the substantiated factuality, the logic, and the implicit morality that led to these books being written. Books by Abrams are critical reading." KIM PETERSEN, Dissident Voice
"Abrams book, Atrocity Fabrication and its Consequences, is a masterpiece, deciphering modern history, and identifying the facts underlying the theatrical obfuscation by Western media." CARLA STEA, GlobalResearch.ca
"I can't recommend highly enough...Despite using the term "fake news" there is not the slightest speck of a hint of Trumpism. Despite reporting on atrocity fabrication, there is not the slightest glimmer of a reference to nonsense claims that school shootings are staged, or any mention of anything at all that is not well documented. Most of the fabricated atrocities recounted here have been admitted to by their fabricators and recanted by the media outlets that had promoted them." DAVID SWANSON, World Beyond War
"Abrams is a highly respected scholar, known for his superb research-led work into geopolitical relations, and his ability to see through the thick fog of media noise. In painstaking detail, with sources carefully cited, this new book tells precisely how to western world uses the media to shape global thinking by creating false narrative and weaponizing concepts such as human rights to demonize rivals." FridayEveryday, Hong Kong
"With clinical precision, A.B. Abrams has delivered a devastating expose of the interventionist clique that has weaponized human rights in order to destabilize enemy nations and immiserate their populations." MAX BLUMENTHAL, journalist, editor at Thegrayzone, and author of New York Times bestseller Republican Gomorrah
