The book sets about unravelling the deeper roots of corruption in India. But at the end there is also a message of hope. For the young lawyers and media folk, Trehan points to some directions. And she asks wheather (it) will actually "bring about a change in this highly cynical, jaded, Machiavellian society.

---- The Tribune New Delhi, 26 January 2009



Journalist Madhu Trehan has done an in-depth study into the root causes of the circumstances, people and mindset that led to the fraud and published it in the form of a book titled Prism me a lie, Tell me a Truth Tehelka as Metaphor

---- Taneesha Kulshrestha, 20 January 2009



Madhu Trehan, who launched India's first video news magazine in English much before 24x7 television news channels became ubiquitous in this country, has now produced a well-researched book on a recent media initiative that shook the government of the time and made each one of us recognize the strengths as well as weaknesses in our democratic processes, systems and institutions. Such books are rare. The subject of her book is rarer still — a "sting" operation conducted by a website, Tehelka.
