What's the best book on propaganda?

by spayceinvader

Sorry if this is the wrong spot for this kind of thing.

What's the best book out there on propaganda, the history of it, theory of it, if it associates to present day examples all the better.

Audiobooks preferred.

My background is former Soviet bloc so Soviet propaganda interests as does the work of Goebbels

Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
