"A Lie Never Justifiable: A Study in Ethics" by H. Clay Trumbull is an exploration of the morality of lying, questioning if it can ever be excused. Through stories from his time as a prisoner of war, Trumbull looks at historical ideas, personal events, and faith to argue that lying goes against what is morally right. He discusses the idea of "necessary lies," especially in war and considers thoughts from people he knew and uses these tough situations to showcase how he thinks lying is always wrong.
