Recensione

Honorable Mention for the 1993 Award for Best Professional/Scholarly Book in the Arts, Association of American Publishers Award
"One of the most important American collections of visual propaganda.... to display the Hoover Institution's vast holdings is a service to anyone interested in 20th-century propaganda."--The New York Times Book Review

"These 300 full-color reproductions still rekindle the emotions of their stormy times."--Booklist

"As a study in the power of images, this book is hard to match. Just to thumb through it can be gripping."--San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle
