The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda

This book is an invaluable primer on media and disinformation in democratic societies. This book reveals wartime propaganda and opinion control exercised so dangerously by powerful governments in restraining the truth and controlling the public mind. Chomsky gives examples to show the nature of contemporary \'spectator democracy\' in which the public is seen as a \'bewildered herd\' that needs to be directed, not empowered.
