Summary: american propagandist
Comment: This book will not give you much in the way of objective information or critique of the USIA. It is highly slanted (which is only to be expected considering the fact that it is written by a long-standing USIA employee) and glosses over the controversial role of propaganda both at home and abroad. However, it does contain very valuable, if unintended, insights into the thinking of propagandists. Green states in his introduction that Americans have a "quaint and puritanical distaste" for government propaganda. More than anything else, his arrogant derision of democratic processes (an attitude which is voiced throughout the book) serves as an accurate reflection of how propagandists think: citizens need to be "massaged" into accepting what's good for them. Green shares the philosophy of all propagandists - that the end justifies the means, even if honor is forsaken in the process. Save your money and get this book out of the library.
