""Government and the Arts of Obedience"" by William Wallace Hollister is a thought-provoking book that explores the relationship between government and its citizens. The book delves into the ways in which governments use various strategies to maintain obedience and control over their citizens, including the use of propaganda, censorship, and surveillance. Hollister argues that these tactics are often used to manipulate public opinion and maintain the status quo, rather than to promote democracy and freedom.The book draws on a wide range of historical and contemporary examples to illustrate its points, including the rise of authoritarian regimes in the 20th century, the role of the media in shaping public opinion, and the impact of technology on the relationship between citizens and their governments. Hollister also examines the ways in which individuals and groups can resist government control, including through civil disobedience, protest, and other forms of activism.Overall, ""Government and the Arts of Obedience"" offers a compelling analysis of the complex and often fraught relationship between government and its citizens. It is a must-read for anyone interested in politics, social justice, and the struggle for freedom and democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
