The book holds value only for those who are new to propaganda and it's mechanisms. First third of the book has flow and is interesting to some extent, while he used some research and arguments from other authors. Unfortunately, my search for deeper analysis and new information lead me to listen two thirds of the audible, which lead eventually to its deletion from library. Author continues with whining about how government is bad and how awesome he is that instead of becoming police officer like most of his family members, he refused and chose the life of the rebel.
Rest of the chapters gave impression that book is written to show: “Look daddy, I am not loser! I am better than you, world is a bad place and government is the evil.”
Author has limited vision and focus as well, because he fails to mention any propaganda mechanisms implemented by USSR, which would be something very interesting to any individual interested in propaganda, that proves that author has only a portion of knowledge regarding propaganda and fails to see bigger picture. I would advise to read\listen first third of the book if you recently heard word propaganda and are eager to learn every bit of information about it.
