Title: Not what you might think
Product review: This book is primarily a documentation of the extensive influence of government and corporate agendas on the development of communications science. The title is misleading in two ways: the actual book is neither about the science itself nor is it about coercion, which generally involves the use of force. A more accurate title would have been "Propaganda and the Development of Communication Science" or something like that.Buy this book if you really want to know the details of every government grant that supported the foundation of communication science.Do not buy this book if you want to understand what those grants--or those foundations--actually were all about.
