Declassified: When Governments Lied and Got Caught

Governments rarely lie with one big, obvious statement. They lie with timelines, omissions, carefully shaped language, and a system built to make truth feel "too complex" to pin down. This book breaks that system apart—showing how deception gets built, defended, and eventually exposed.

Declassified maps the repeatable playbook behind public deception: how "national security" becomes a shield, how narratives are seeded, how press coverage gets steered, how blame is dodged through wording, and how investigations get delayed or diluted. Then it shows what cracks the facade—whistleblowers, courts, oversight, and public pressure—when secrecy collides with documentation.

This isn't a partisan rant. It's a pattern-recognition manual for readers who want to spot spin before it hardens into history. With case-driven chapters—including Watergate and Iran-Contra—you'll see how power protects itself, and why the truth often arrives late… but not accidentally.
