But it was in the twentieth century that the art of persuasively communicating ideas truly came of age--when mass media meant that leaders could reach right into our living rooms to deliver their messages. Today, we live in a globalized \"post-truth\" era of social media and \"fake news,\" in which lies and conspiracies can thrive--and many of us carry this information technology around with us daily on our person.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Story of Propaganda in 50 Images\u003c\/i\u003e is a chronological and international look at how important messages have been conveyed across centuries and cultures, through coins and monuments to paintings, posters, and films.
