Techniques of Propaganda and Persuasion by Magedah E. Shabo provides an historical look at how propaganda has been used to manipulate the masses. The book is packed with interesting examples and illustrations. There is a companion CD with an extensive PowerPoint that offers a detailed explanation of the 11 techniques. The book will allow students and adults avoid being manipulated by advertisers, politicians, and anyone using the techniques. Every social studies teacher should have one in their classroom and no library is complete without it.
