The Propaganda Project (Thought-Provoking Nonfiction)

What if it's all a lie?

Since birth, human beings are bombarded by propaganda from the media, religion, schooling, government, culture, and even our friends and family. How do we know our thoughts are really our own?

In a world of infinite information and propaganda screaming at us from every direction, the truth is of paramount importance to our mental health, and can be a matter of life and death for every person on this planet. In The Propaganda Project, I expose the tricks of the propagandist—the tricks needed to legitimize the illegitimate, to make us think up is down, black is white. I dig deep into the muck to extract the truth about government, and the financial interests pulling the strings.

I hope you’ll open your mind and journey with me into the belly of the beast. For the rest of you, don’t worry, the best slaves think they’re free.

What readers are saying.

"I really liked your book, as with everything else you write it was thoughtful, well written and well presented. I've edited a number of 'political' books in recent months and I think your book was the best by far. Your arguments were coherent, persuasive and well sourced. Your use of personal anecdote is very good and it really brings this book to life. The opening section about your dad sets the scene and really pulls the reader into the book. Your referencing is well positioned and well presented. I come across so many books that just present facts with no evidential support. Your use of references really helps to build trust in what you have to say." -Gary Smailes, Editor
