This volume traces the origins, ethos, and workings of modern
propaganda, which now permeates all institutions in our society.
Scholars such as C. Wright Mills, Walter Lippmann, and Hans Speier
here explore the social and institutional groundwork of modern
propaganda. The book then examines the axial age of propaganda,
from the Great War through the Cold War, focusing on key propaganda
organizations, such as the Committee on Public Information, the
Nazi propaganda machine, and the group of Hollywood directors that
produced propaganda films for the armed services during the Second
World War. This section also details the wizardry of the master
Nazi propagandist, Joseph Goebbels. Finally, the volume examines
the ubiquity of propaganda in contemporary society, focusing on
bureaucratic propaganda, advertising, public relations, and
politics and language.
