"""Propagandists warp truth to get your trust.""

""Disinformation controls you.""

We need more than warnings, says the author of Get Ahead of Propagandists. In about 70 pages, he crushes the fake information eating away our freedoms. With insights for nations, organizations, or anyone fighting disinformation, he reveals ways to -

Outwit propagandists. Detect, deflect, and dismantle disinformation. Counter manufactured outrage.

Beyond critical review of public discourse, this book calls for purposeful actions.

Now in paperback, Miller's selected blog posts include reference notes, a bibliography, and an index.

""A must read to expose and defuse disinformation."" - Nancy Snow, lead author of the 8th edition of Propaganda and Persuasion (Sage, 2025)

""Very good analysis. Jacques Ellul himself, along with his lifelong friend, Bernard Charbonneau, also believed in forming groups to discuss media propaganda."" - Randal Marlin, author Propaganda and the Ethics of Persuasion

""Brilliant-a strong call to action based in solid research!"" - Kay Sprinkel Grace

""I've enjoyed reading Rodney Miller's blog posts for a number of years, particularly those focused on contemporary problems of propaganda. Rodney's posts on propaganda, now collected and thematized, lay out a hopeful blueprint for commentators and teachers who aim to diagnose and alleviate obstacles to clear thinking and thoughtful communicating.""- J. Michael Sproule, author Democratic Vernaculars: Rhetorics of Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Criticism since the Enlightenment

""This is interesting, comprehensive, and well researched. With the mayhem of discourse that surrounds us now in the 21st century, I would like to hear real debates on ideas."" - Patsy McCarthy, coauthor Speaking Persuasively

""I enjoyed this commentary on propaganda. It's spot on!"" - Lisa Bennett

""I appreciate the suggested actions that people can take in this area."" - Paul Uhlir

""Really well-reasoned and, of course, well-written."" - Maryann LaCroix Lindberg

""The most cogent explanation of how populist propaganda has been effective in the U.S. lately."" - Anon. Blog Reader

""Much needed commentary in difficult times."" - Anon. Blog Reader"
