Summary

"Propaganda Wars" explores the pervasive influence of propaganda throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, examining its role in shaping conflicts, molding public opinion, and driving global power struggles. This book analyzes how persuasion techniques have evolved, impacting political landscapes and individual perceptions. For instance, it reveals how psychological principles are leveraged to influence beliefs and incite action, sometimes altering the course of nations.

 
Understanding the mechanics of propaganda empowers readers to critically assess information in an age where information warfare rivals conventional military operations. The book delves into case studies from major historical events like World War II and the Cold War, showcasing specific propaganda techniques and their intended effects. It also addresses ethical considerations and the challenges posed by digital disinformation.

 
Progressing through chapters, the book first defines propaganda and its historical context, then analyzes specific campaigns, and concludes by examining digital-age challenges and potential countermeasures. This approach provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of propaganda's past, present, and potential future impact.

    Plagues and Their Aftermath -...

    From a plague in Athens during the Peloponnesian War in 430 BCE, to another in 540 that wiped out half the population of the Roman empire, down through the Black Death in the Middle Ages and on through the 1918 flu epidemic (which killed between 50 and 100 million people) and this century's deadly SARS outbreak, plagues have been a much more relentless fact of life than many realize. 
     
     
      
    The legacy of epidemics, Brian Michael Jenkins observes, is not only one of lives lost but of devastated economies and social disorder, all of which have severe political repercussions. 
     
     
      
    Thus, each chapter of Plagues and Their Aftermath draws on those historical precursors to focus on one particular aspect of their aftermath: What happens to political systems? What happens in the area of crime and terrorism? Do wars happen? What are the effects on cultures? What was the impact of widespread fear and public hysteria, of increased suspicion and scapegoating, of the spread of rumors and conspiracy theories? 
     
     
      
    Jenkins's sobering analysis is riveting and thought-provoking listening for general listeners and specialists alike, and throws welcome light into what many fear is a dark future.

    Part of the Hero Classics series 
    Utopia is a distant island where the inhabitants are thriving and justice and reason prevail, in contrast to the realities of sixteenth-century Europe, where greed, superstition and unenlightened tradition reign. Using the framework of a traveller’s account to a fictional land, Thomas More created an ingenious treatise which envisioned a more humanist approach to laws and social structures, and coined the now common term “utopia”.

    I have researched and written over 150 books on strange and mysterious phenomena. Some of these books are based on my own experiences and most topics are based on my research. My fascination with strange things has become a major passion in my life. 
    This book includes over sixty true stories on many different subjects to provide a lot of food for thought on these topics. 
    These stories cover Bigfoot, Aliens & UFOs, Time and Dimensional travel stories, survival stories, ancient civilizations, Out Of Place Artifacts, Dragons, Giant Snakes, the Paranormal, Longevity, Outer Space, Spiritual Experiences, Impossible Ruins, and much more. 
    Graduated from Engineering School and also had many paranormal experiences from learning meditation and other practices. My goal is to write about weird topics from an analytical perspective. 
    When you finish this volume maybe you will see my point of view which is that as much as we think we know about this world and the Universe, there are still many mysteries and strange things out there.
