This compelling work chronicles the insidious power of visual propaganda and design in shaping the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century. It uncovers how these states meticulously crafted their public image, employing graphic design, architecture, and symbolism as potent tools for control and indoctrination. The book presents a chilling analysis of how branding principles, often associated with commerce, were weaponized to consolidate power and suppress dissent. Through incisive commentary and striking illustrations, it argues for a deeper understanding of the aesthetic strategies that underpinned some of history's most oppressive governments. This insightful volume details the pervasive influence of design in political manipulation, offering a critical perspective on the intersection of art and authoritarianism.
