Título: Liberated Texts, Collected Reviews: Volume One
Autor: Louis Allday, Mahmoud Najib
Sinopse: "Books differ from all other propaganda media... because one single book can significantly change the reader's attitude and action to an extent unmatched by the impact of any other single medium... this is, of course, not true of all books at all times and with all readers - but it is true significantly often enough to make books the most important weapon of strategic (long-range) propaganda."Chief of the CIA's Covert Action Staff, 1961
