  Whether you want to be informed on the issues or debunk misinformation wherever you encounter it, How to Win the War on Truth is here to help. You'll learn: the history of propaganda, from Edward Bernays to Fox News; why simple messages are so powerful; who profits from propaganda; how propaganda is manufactured and delivered directly to you; and how to find the truth for yourself. 
   
   
   
  Filled with real-world examples of propaganda in all its forms, How to Win the War on Truth will help you see the world with clear eyes for the first time. Because when it comes to preserving democracy and fighting for our rights, it's essential that we do.
