From Booklist
This work has been designed as an easily readable survey of propaganda and its history from 1500 to the present. An extensive introduction defines propaganda and traces its origins, concluding with a discussion of the importance of propaganda in the twentieth century and the increasing prominence given to it. The introduction also notes that, although propaganda often serves to "dictate what one should think," it is not necessarily evil.
The encyclopedia contains more than 250 entries, from Abolitionism/antislavery movement to Zionism. Many of the entries concern individuals who had any connection with propaganda, such as Hitler, Osama bin Laden, and several U.S. presidents. Various countries of the world and their connection to propaganda are also discussed. Other entries cover events (Gulf War, Reformation and Counter-Reformation ), institutions (CNN, KGB), documents and artifacts (Triumph of the Will, Uncle Tom's Cabin ), movements (Civil Rights Movement, Environmentalism ), and techniques (Advertising, Censorship, Television). Each entry contains a definition of the topic and its connection to propaganda and is enhanced by cross-references and references to source material. The index is quite extensive.
This specialized encyclopedia does a good job of exploring the different uses of propaganda. It would be worthwhile purchase for academic and large public libraries and would also be accessible and interesting to high-school students. RBB
