It's a nice book that covers the basics of propaganda, or what is now called public relations, and while I have no doubt whatsoever that the information presented is correct, I must admit to being unable to relate to much of it. This might be due to a certain uninterest from my side in the subject, the book mainly being on my to-read list due to the documentary The Century of The Self and the portrayal of Edward Bernays in it.

Speaking of which, I'm surprised as to the apparent ethical approach of propaganda that Bernays seem to propagate in the book. He knows the power of propaganda and he means for it to be used for good, which, in his words, would be:

"Propaganda will never die out. Intelligent men must realize that propaganda is the modern instrument by which they can fight for productive ends and help to bring order out of chaos."

Is the book worth reading? Yeah, sure, go ahead, but at the same time, I'm almost 100% certain that there are other books, perhaps the memoirs of Bernays, that are more in-depth and informative than this tiny booklet.

Also, sadly, this particular edition has a bunch of spelling errors.
