First Edition, Reinforced Binding "Propaganda has an ugly sound to many people in the United States. They think of it as being something the other side puts out, never their side. Yet propaganda as Gladys and Marcella Thum define it is as much a part of America as the flag or apple pie. It was propaganda that brought the thirteen colonies to the point of war with the British and that helped win the final victory. Propaganda has been a part of every war since. Propaganda has influenced almost every political campaign. Many such campaigns have been carefully planned to achieve maximum benefit from expensively prepared - and sometimes misleading - propaganda. Our newspapers and magazines are full of advertising propaganda. And even some of our laws and constitutional amendments have come about because of skillful propaganda. Since the future is likely to bring even more propaganda than the past has seen, it is important to understand it, the authors say. To know the devices and to see how they have been and can be used, is to be better able to evaluate information and to come to one's own conclusions, not the conclusions someone else is advocating" [from the dust jacket].
