The second part offers original methods of propaganda analysis, one new case study and three revised case studies, and a process model that depicts how propaganda works in modern society. This book provides students and scholars with a cogent, applicable approach to the study of persuasion and propaganda. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
