How do dictators rise to power? More importantly, why do so many people willingly help them stay there?
From the propaganda machines of the twentieth century to the misinformation battles of the digital age, The Propaganda of Tyrants explores the psychological, political and social forces that enable authoritarian leaders to manipulate public opinion, silence opposition and reshape reality itself.
Drawing on history, psychology and modern communication theory, Thom Poole examines the techniques used by tyrants throughout history, and explains why the same principles remain relevant today.
This is not simply a book about the past. It is an exploration of influence, persuasion and power that helps readers recognise propaganda wherever it appears.
