A Lie Never Justifiable: A Study in Ethics

H. Clay Trumbull

Not even to save a life? Trumbull takes the hardest cases head on and argues that a lie is never justifiable, period. He surveys battlefield deceptions, sickroom kindness, and the thinkers who allowed exceptions, then answers them one by one. A bracing, uncompromising study in ethics that will sharpen your convictions even where you disagree. Read it, then try to argue back.
