I think that this book is very important to the understanding of propaganda and what it really is. keep in mind when it was written with some of the information, but I would say that a majority of the information and examples are topical and very interesting to learn and read about.

I ended up liking this fine but I feel like the world building could have been a lot better. I felt like so much information was thrown at me in the beginning.
