With historic context as well as examples from present-day politicians, Bingul provides thorough, structured insight into the various elements that make propaganda so effective, even in a time when information and facts are at everyone's fingertips. A deep analysis into how propaganda and populism works, with helpful and hopeful ways to counter these strategies.
