Description: **“A must read to expose and defuse disinformation."** 
– Nancy Snow, lead author of the 8th edition of *Propaganda and Persuasion* (Sage, 2025)

“Propagandists warp truth to get your trust.”
“Disinformation controls you.”

We need more than warnings, says the author of ***Get Ahead of Propagandists***. In about 70 pages, he crushes the fake information eating away our freedoms.

This book explores how propaganda works, as well as ways to: block, blunt, or counter its effects; enlist the media in this effort; extend education for countering propaganda; and push to criminalize egregiously harmful lies of propagandists.

**“Brilliant–a strong call to action based in solid research!”** 
– Kay Sprinkel Grace

**“I’ve enjoyed reading Rodney Miller’s blog posts for a number of years, particularly those focused on contemporary problems of propaganda. Rodney’s posts on propaganda, now collected and thematized, lay out a hopeful blueprint for commentators and teachers who aim to diagnose and alleviate obstacles to clear thinking and thoughtful communicating.”** 
– J. Michael Sproule, author *Democratic Vernaculars: Rhetorics of Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Criticism since the Enlightenment*

**“This is interesting, comprehensive, and well researched. With the mayhem of discourse that surrounds us now in the 21st century, I would like to hear real debates on ideas.”**
– Patsy McCarthy, coauthor *Speaking Persuasively*

**“The most cogent explanation of how populist propaganda has been effective in the U.S. lately.”**
