Propaganda

""A highly entertaining book . . . copiously documented."" -The Saturday Review of Literature ""The only difference between propaganda and education, remarks Edward L. Bernays, is in the point of view. 'The advocacy of what we believe in is education. The advocacy of what we don't believe is propaganda.'"" -George Sylvester Viereck, Spreading Germs of Hate ""It's a curiosity whether Bernays is being disingenuous or simply naive in his sunny conclusions."" -medium.com ""Read Propaganda by Edward L. Bernays and find out."" -The Brooklyn Daily Times ""Bernays' honest and practical manual provides much insight into some of the most powerful and influential institutions of contemporary industrial-state capitalist democracies."" -Noam Chomsky ""He has grasped the 'bull by the horns, ' boldly titled it Propaganda, and then with all the vigor of his craftsmanship attempted to give the fine old word its proper desserts."" -Salt Lake Telegram ""He . . . misses entirely the fact that the close connection of the word [propaganda] with the activities of the Roman Catholic Church may have affected its connotations with the rural, Protestant majority of the American public."" -Sales Management and Advertisers' Weekly ""Mr. Bernays' impressive reference to colleges, churches, and other national agencies now employing propagandist methods for worthy ends only tends to substantiate my contention that we are living at a time when the very most sacred, rare, and hitherto carefully guarded treasures of civilization are obliged to turn to ballyhoo and sell caricatures of themselves to opened-mouthed idlers in the marketplace."" -Everett Dean Martin, The Forum
