About This Book
**“A must read to expose and defuse disinformation."**
– Nancy Snow, lead author of the 8th edition of *Propaganda and Persuasion* (Sage, 2025)
“Propagandists warp truth to get your trust.”
“Disinformation controls you.”
We need more than warnings, says the author of ***Get Ahead of Propagandists***. In about 70 pages, he crushes the fake information eating away our freedoms.
This book explores how propaganda works, as well as ways to: block, blunt, or counter its effects; enlist the media in this effort; extend education for countering propaganda; and push to criminalize egregiously harmful lies of propagandists.
**Crush fake information to help democracy thrive!**
Insights for nations, organizations, or anyone fighting disinformation to -
**Outwit propagandists.**
**Detect, deflect, and dismantle disinformation.**
**Counter manufactured outrage.**
**“Very good analysis. Jacques Ellul himself, along with his lifelong friend, Bernard Charbonneau, also believed in forming groups to discuss media propaganda.”**
– Randal Marlin, author *Propaganda and the Ethics of Persuasion*
**“Brilliant–a strong call to action based in solid research!”**
– Kay Sprinkel Grace
**“I’ve enjoyed reading Rodney Miller’s blog posts for a number of years, particularly those focused on contemporary problems of propaganda. Rodney’s posts on propaganda, now collected and thematized, lay out a hopeful blueprint for commentators and teachers who aim to diagnose and alleviate obstacles to clear thinking and thoughtful communicating.”**
– J. Michael Sproule, author *Democratic Vernaculars: Rhetorics of Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Criticism since the Enlightenment*
**“This is interesting, comprehensive, and well researched. With the mayhem of discourse that surrounds us now in the 21st century, I would like to hear real debates on ideas.”**
– Patsy McCarthy, coauthor *Speaking Persuasively*
**“The most cogent explanation of how populist propaganda has been effective in the U.S. lately.”**
– Anon. Blog Reader
**“Much needed commentary in difficult times.”**
