Truth is the First Casualty of War

The idea that “Truth is the first casualty of war” highlights how wars often serve the interests of those in power while bringing suffering to ordinary people. This perspective is rooted in historical observations and will be explored in an upcoming conference.

• The phrase about truth and war comes from ancient Greece and reflects how wars are primarily about conquest and state power.

• Citizens face significant hardships during war, including death, injury, economic burden, and loss of freedoms, while soldiers bear the greatest costs.

• Hermann Göring’s statement during the Nuremberg trials reveals how governments manipulate public perception to gain support for war.

• The Mises Institute aims to revisit the costs of war at its upcoming conference on May 15–17, focusing on questioning official narratives of history.

• Renowned speakers, including historians and experts on war, will present at the conference, which will stream live and be archived online.

• Governments commonly misrepresent historical truths, particularly regarding wartime actions and motives, creating a narrative that serves state interests.

• The conference will culminate in a publication of the presented papers in a hardback book, available for purchase as well as in ebook and audiobook formats.

The conference presents an opportunity to challenge widespread misconceptions about war and contribute to a more honest discourse. Donations can support the project, with specific recognition for larger contributions. For further information or to sponsor a student, interested individuals can contact Kristy Holmes.

It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease."
