Overview

Propaganda has always coexisted with politics. It is one of the most pervasive forms of persuasion and infiltrates every aspect of our lives. Every day we are bombarded with propaganda from all directions -- the media, work associates, friends, and family. Because it is continual in nature, the new, modern propaganda remains almost undetected. It creates a world where contradictions go unnoticed, where truth and reality go hand in hand with deception and illusion. Has propaganda created a fabricated world? This book explores the political theory supporting propaganda's use including theories by Niccolo Machiavelli, Jaques Ellul, and Harold Lasswell as well as the implementation of propaganda in the modern presidency.
