5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating stuff... well worth a read!, 4 Dec 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Munitions of the Mind: A History of Propaganda from the Ancient World to the Present Day (Paperback)

This book offers a fascinating discussion of how people have sought to influence others over the ages. As such, it can be read as an interesting take on the history of the world in its own right! The updated material on the Second Gulf War and the post September 11th world certainly adds a lot to this new edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars One at a time, 17 Jan 2007

By	Richard Azia "warzabidul" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What makes this book an interesting read is the method by which it goes from one time period to another, exploring how propaganda and the technologies of the time werte used. It gives a rare incite into the cause and effect for various time periods

Each chapter is self contained therefore if you need quick information about a specific time period this boo9k is idea.
