Why does correcting a lie so often make it stronger?
Why do entire populations choose leaders they know will harm them — and feel proud of the choice?
The answer is not stupidity. It is propaganda.
In this urgent and meticulously researched book, Victor Lane draws on the latest neuroscience and social psychology to reveal exactly how propaganda works — not as a crude tool of dictators and demagogues, but as a systematic exploitation of the cognitive architecture that every human being possesses.
Propaganda moves from the science of the individual mind to the machinery of mass persuasion to five landmark cases:
- Nazi Germany: How Goebbels built the most complete propaganda state in history — and what his private diaries reveal about his methods
- Soviet Agitprop: The revolution that rewrote reality — and its evolution into today's confusion-manufacturing doctrine
- Rwanda: How Radio Milles Collines used language alone to prepare a population for genocide
- Big Tobacco: The blueprint for manufacturing scientific doubt that has since killed more people than any political propaganda campaign in history
- Cambridge Analytica: How psychographic micro-targeting personalised propaganda at a scale no previous system had achieved
You will discover how System 1 processing makes emotional appeals more powerful than rational argument, why repetition alone makes false claims feel true, how the illusory truth effect is exploited by every major propaganda system from Goebbels to the algorithm, and what the latest prebunking and inoculation research says about what can actually be done.
Propaganda is the missing piece in The Psychology of Power series. Obedience explained why ordinary people follow destructive authority. The Dictator's Brain explained what power does to those who hold it. Propaganda explains the system that connects the two — and what it will take to resist it.
The third book in The Psychology of Power series by Victor Lane.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
