Cleanup needed

The summary of the book's content is huge: many times bigger than it needs to be. About 600 words is a guideline for the size of a summary. The tone of the whole article fails to make clear what is summarised from the book and what is neutral commentary: it seems at points as though Wikipedia is endorsing the content of the book. Since the article is about the book, the Background section should state the background of the book's writing and publication, not the background of the topic of propaganda. The Further reading section is also hugely excessive: it seems as though books have been chosen for their relevance to the topic of propaganda, not the topic that this article is about.
