further research

I have got out some more books to read:

'Propaganda Prints' - Colin Moore
 - 'a history of art in the service of social and political change'. It gives an overview of propaganda used from the very beginning, going through the middle ages, machine age and then to the modern world. But it has a big chunk about the Russian revolution and the nazis in the early 20th century section. 

'Propaganda! Russian and Norwegian posters 1920-1939' - (multiple authors) Yelena Barkhatova, Daniela Buchten, Denis Solovev, Vibece Salthe
- it starts with academic essays written by the various authors about the topic of propaganda around the time of the revolution and wars. The next section of the book is pages of significant posters with detailed descriptions and analysis.

'Age of Propaganda: the everyday use and abuse of persuasion' Anthony Pratkanis and Elliot Aronson
- it explores all the persuasion techniques to influence what we buy, how we vote, what we think etc. it doesn't necessarily focus on my time period but it does look a bit at Hitler's methods. It's useful because of the psychology element connected to the book, looking at how this kind of manipulation actually works and how we can stop it.
