title: How Propaganda Works
author:  Jason Stanley 
description: <b>"Winner of the 2016 PROSE Award in Philosophy, Association of American Publishers"</b><br /><br />"Provides valuable insights into an important and timely subject."<b>---Michiko Kakutani, <i>New York Times Book Review</i></b><br /><br />"[T]he book crackles with brilliant insights and erudition, while also managing to explain the arcane preoccupations of analytic philosophy in a way that's accessible to a wider audience."<b>----, <i>Bookforum</i></b><br /><br />"<i>How Propaganda Works</i> deserves huge praise and should be read by anyone who cares about politics and language. Its trove of tools and insights is impossible to completely summarise here." (<i>The National</i>)<br /><br />"As with other books that expose hidden patterns in American political life from a great height (those that come to mind are Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky's <i>Manufacturing Consent</i> and Michelle Alexander's <i>The New Jim Crow</i>), the lofty perspective of <i>How Propaganda Works</i> challenges researchers to fill in gaps with more detailed, particular explanations of how and why."<b>---Stephen Siff, <i>Journalism &amp; Mass Communications Quarterly</i></b><br /><br />"Rich and thoughtful. . . . The best way to fight propaganda is to become savvier about how it manipulates, how it actually works, as Stanley does in his work." (<i>Desmog Canada</i>)<br /><br />"Brilliant and incisive." (<i>Survival: Global Politics and Strategy</i>)<br /><br />"[A] timely and important work that contributes a good deal of theoretical understanding to a crucial yet relatively neglected topic of inquiry." (<i>Spinwatch</i>)<br /><br />"A book uniquely suited to its time. . . . An example of political philosophy at its finest." (<i>Voegelinview</i>)<br /><br />"Stanley tracks propaganda's history across continents and through decades, illuminating its power to make people vote against their own best interests. And what he has found is [that] the words being used may be as important as the politics behind them."<b>---Nick Osbourne, <i>Boston Globe</i></b>

  “If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news 
  or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that
