Synopsis:

Common Courage's number one seller blows the lid off of today's multi-billion-dollar propaganda-for-hire PR industry, revealing how public relations wizards concoct and spin the news, organize phony grassroots front groups, spy on citizens and conspire with lobbyists and politicians.

Review: The best work ever on the PR industry. (Robert McChesney, author of Our Media, Not Theirs)

Rampton and Stauber are two of America's bravest, finest journalists. Their work is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how greedy corporations and their allies in government now wield power in the United States. (Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation)

A well-written, enlightening look at a war of the powerful against society. (Edward Herman, author of Manufacturing Consent)

Exposes how far we've tumbled down the dark hole of "Newspeak" that Orwell warned about ... It could be the flashlight to find our way out. (Jim Hightower, author of Thieves in High Places)

Terrific! Don't miss it. (Molly Ivins, author of Bushwhacked)
