Propaganda by Edward Bernays
Rating: 4/5
Back Cover Snippet: ‘… published in 1928, this manual of mass manipulation provides a detailed examination of how public discourse and opinion are shaped and controlled …’
Comments:
A very well written/presented book. The only unfair point deduction is to some-how magically get a revised version for this year. Less talk about radio propaganda and more points on the blog-o-sphere, Facebook, or twitter.
Edward Bernays would probably be happy to see President Obama have anything and everything of his first go through his ‘Public relations’ top person before reaching the media and public. The best PR team of any president. Maybe Mr. Bernays would be surprised to see how much propaganda is embedded into everything now… product placements… corporate/government sponsored grass roots movements…
A great book that defines ‘public relations’.
