Description

In a succinct and enlightening analysis, former U.S. Information Agency employee Nancy Snow describes how U.S. propaganda efforts and covert operations are expanding more rapidly today than at any other time in U.S. history, as the Bush administration attempts to increase U.S. dominance by curbing dissent and controlling opinion. Their methods represent a new all-pervasive war, an information war over the control of images, information and ideology that shape public opinion and behaviour, a war in which the first victims are dissent and true democracy.
