Throughout history, propaganda has been
used to influence public opinion for or
against one cause or another. From
early theater, to public speeches, to
magazines, books, film, and more,
propaganda pervades our society. The
Literature of Propaganda showcases
propaganda portrayed in literature:
Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Ray
Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, and George
Orwell's 1984. It also features literature
specifically created as propaganda or
used in that way: The Moon is Down by
John Steinbeck and The Clansman by
Thomas Dixon. Finally, it explores works
that deliver a vision as described by an
influential leader: Mein Kampf by Adolf
Hitler and Quotations from Chairman
Mao Tse-Tung by Mao Zedong.

Histories of Everyday Life in Totalitarian
Regimes is a new set in St. James Press'

totalitarian dictatorships as Nazi
Germany, Stalin's Soviet Union, China

regimes. The personal experiences are
conveyed through an examination of
various firsthand accounts, such as

totalitarian regimes by exploring works
of fiction dedicated to the topic.

of primary and secondary sources and
fictional works, all three of which
