The book offers a profound analysis of how Nazi propaganda influenced mass psychology, examining its pervasive effects on society. Originally published in French in 1939 and later translated into English in 1940, the English version was revised to reflect the context of World War II. Through critical insights, the author explores the mechanisms of manipulation and control employed by the regime, making it a significant commentary on the power of propaganda during a tumultuous historical period.

First published in French in 1939, and later in English in 1940, this work by the author, analyses and strongly critiques the effect of Nazi propaganda on the psychology of the masses. By bringing together the political and the psychological, the author refers to the use of propaganda in order to serve the ends of a handful of men as 'psychical rape' and warns that this phenomenon cannot be attributed solely to the Nazi regime. The English translation was updated to account for the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. It will be of great interest to anyone studying the Second World War, Nazism, Fascism and the psychology of propaganda.
