This thought-provoking work by Terence H. Qualter delves into the intricate mechanisms of opinion control in democratic societies.

Qualter’s insightful analysis draws upon historical examples and contemporary case studies, making this volume a valuable resource for scholars and students of political science, media studies, and sociology. Collectors will appreciate this well-preserved hardcover edition, which bears the marks of its age but remains in readable condition, a testament to the enduring relevance of the book’s themes in an era of increasing concerns over misinformation and the erosion of democratic norms.
