Story
From one of the greatest French philosophers of the 20th century comes a seminal study and critique of propaganda. Taking not only a psychological approach but a sociological approach as well, Jacques Ellul outlines the taxonomy for propaganda and, ultimately, its destructive nature towards democracy. Drawing from his own experiences fighting for the French resistance against the Vichy regime, Ellul offers a unique insight into the propaganda machine.

This book was fascinating on multiple levels - the first being the contrastive format in which the author breaks down the subtleties - and the not so subtle aspects of propaganda and it’s varying aspects depending on audience and the reception of messaging depending on either the socioeconomic level, political bias, or education.
Quite an eye opening read, the sociological prose enables the reader to see that - people, and their underlying ideologies; formatted by a consumeristic intake of propaganda related or derived material - stay constant in a semi-regulated fashion year after year.
Highly recommend, I rate this 5 stars.
