Publisher's Synopsis
On this original recording Chomsky delivers a powerful and provocative lecture, exemplary of the media analysis that is his signature. Arguing that propaganda is to democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state', Chomsky stretches the triumphs of US propaganda from the Wilson era through the first Bush administration. This is a truly timely and haunting reminder of propaganda's proven hazard: the repetition of our most nightmarish history.'
