(2013) Jacques Ellul and the technological society in the 21st century, Dordrecht, Springer.
Jacques Ellul's Propaganda is a work of analysis and explanation about a crucial range of practices and institutions in modern political society. Drawing upon the social history of political communication and a wealth of social scientific studies on public opinion published during the middle twentieth century, Ellul expands the framework in which such evidence can been understood and put to use. Especially at the book's conclusion, it is clear that Ellul hoped the book would serve as a warning to democratic citizens of technological societies about the insidious spread of propaganda throughout the body politic.
