In <i>Politics and Propaganda</i> Nicholas O'Shaughnessy shows us why propaganda continues to be one of the prime movers of human history.</p> <p>O'Shaughnessy, renowned author, scholar, and founder of the cutting-edge field of political marketing, explores one of the most-studied but least-understood aspects of civilized society.
