"Nancy Snow pulls the curtain on the US Information Agency and shows it to be just another front for corporate America."—Jim Hightower, author of There's Nothing in the Middle of the Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos
"In [these pages], Nancy Snow shows herself to be a discerning, fair-minded investigator, a skilled writer and researcher, and a socially conscious citizen. No wonder she found herself unable to function within the U.S. propaganda machine."—Michael Parenti
An eye-opening overview of American cultural policy fully updated through the end of the Bush presidency, Propaganda, Inc. reveals how the United States Information Agency became a bureaucracy deeply distrustful of dissent, and one-way in its promotion of American corporate interests overseas.
Nancy Snow spent two years inside the Agency, and here provides an insider's account of its crooked relationship to corporate interests and war. Simply a must-read for those concerned with American propaganda and the war on terror.
Nancy Snow is an Associate Professor in the Newhouse School at Syracuse University. Since 9/11, Snow has become a frequent media commentator and public speaker on American foreign policy, influence, persuasion, propaganda, and the root causes of anti-Americanism.
