How Did the US Ruling Class Get so Comfortable Lying to Americans?

In his new book, Mark Moyar explains how as a U.S. official he was targeted by colleagues for calling out government corruption. Covering up the truth, says the author of two controversial histories of the Vietnam War, has become a tradition for leftist elites. He tells Lee Smith that the way back to truth must be steered by something greater than man’s ambition for power—for the path is lit by God.
