Ok... What have y'all got for recommendations of books on propaganda & how it functions or historical accounts of wartime propaganda campaigns (or anything similar)?

@artemis Paul Linebarger, Psychological Warfare. He was a US propaganda operative in WW2 and also a sci fi writer. This is a manual for practitioners. It will give you an excellent framework for analyzing this sort of thing.
