Really engaging history of propaganda focused mainly on the UK and the US. I felt like I learned a lot from this and it was written in a readable narrative style. However, I find the lack of footnotes a bit odd. I know this is probably not meant as being too academic, and maybe it's not as important in the US, but to me a history book that just has a bibliography is somehow less trustworthy as you can't check up so easily on original sources. Nevertheless, if you want to learn about the devious art of black propaganda, this is a great place to start.
