Abstract of "Propaganda" by Jacques Ellul

Publisher Abstract

"…a far more frightening work than any of the nightmare novels of George Orwell. With the logic that is the great instrument of French thought, [Ellul] explores and attempts to prove the thesis that propsganda, whether its ends are demonstrably good or bad, is not only destructive to democracy, it is perhaps the most serious threat to humanity operating in the modern world. -- Robert R. Kirsh, the Los Angeles Times (as quoted on the back cover of the book.)
