A classic work, Munitions of the mind traces how propaganda has formed
part of the fabric of conflict since the dawn of warfare, and how in
its broadest definition it has also been part of a process of
persuasion at the heart of human communication. Stone monuments, coins,
broadsheets, paintings and pamphlets, posters, radio, film, television,
computers and satellite communications - throughout history, propaganda
has had access to ever more complex and versatile media.
This third edition has been revised and expanded to include a new
preface, new chapters on the 1991 Gulf War, information age conflict in
the post-Cold War era, and the world after the terrorist attacks of
September 11. It also offers a new epilogue and a comprehensive
bibliographical essay.
