This was a very interesting read. Not only did it give a fantastic review of propaganda throughout history, it also included details about propaganda that I would never think about. Military uniforms would never once have crossed my mind as being bits of propaganda. Taylor shows how war and propaganda as so intertwined that they are almost indistinguishable from one another. I enjoyed reading about how propaganda has changed over time and situated itself into our every day lives. I don't know if I will ever be able to look at anything without thinking if I'm being handled.

This class is fascinating and this book is one of the reasons why. Taylor goes out of his way to incorporate as much detail as possible into this book. It reads fluidly and has a broad spectrum of information.
