Zenpundit details his new purchases. I myself am coming off a long (and very serious) illness, so I have been behind on the book-buying. However, a quick trip to a neighborhood bookseller got me back into the game. I picked up Joanna Burke's Fear: A Cultural History, Jacques Ellul's Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes, and Alan D. Schrift's edited compilation Modernity and the Problem of Evil. However, that is going to have to wait until I finish two books I have in the review pipeline, Thomas K. Adams' The Army After Next: The First Postindustrial Army and Thomas R. Mockaitis' The "New" Terrorism: Myths and Realities. All in all, a good haul.
Hi Adam,
I'm just after finishing another of Jaques Ellul's books called the Technological Society which lead me to purchase his Propaganda work. Amazing pieces of work. Real mind openers for books and without doubt the best books I've ever read.
all the best,
John
