It’s been 100 years since the start of the First World War, a conflict that cost millions of lives. In his recently revised book, Propaganda and the Ethics of Persuasion (2013), Randal Marlin writes that Britain pioneered propaganda techniques to sell that war that have been imitated ever since.

His revised second edition analyzes how the Bush administration used fear to persuade Americans to support the invasion of Iraq.The book traces the history of propaganda from ancient times to its present, post 9/11 formsRandal Marlin is a professor of philosophy at Carleton University in Ottawa.
