Traces the origins of modern propaganda and its influence in modern
history 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.
