Review of 'Propaganda' on 'Goodreads'

Makes you realize how pervasive propaganda tactics are today and some of the dangers of propaganda giving the wrong emphasis especially in public institutions. Key message is that it is not only what you do but what you appear to be doing that is important as if you don’t project your message then some other message will be taken in.
