From a small Christian school in Oklahoma to the White House Situation Room, Doug Williams became the most feared polygraph operator in the nation. With the words “YOU’RE LYING!”, he struck fear into thousands of people strapped to his machine. But Doug discovered the truth: the polygraph doesn’t work. It can be manipulated. Innocent people get crushed, the guilty go free — all at the whim of the operator. His defiance didn’t stay in the shadows. Doug’s exposé on 60 Minutes revealed to millions of viewers how unreliable the polygraph really is. Soon after, he faced the full weight of the system — a system that sent him to federal prison. False Confessions is both exposé and memoir — the gripping story of a man who challenged a billion-dollar fraud, paid the price, and left behind a legacy of courage in the face of power.
