It was compelling, well written and I highly recommend it. It kept me engaged and was well researched. Review: Excellent, fascinating book! - Nathaniel Lande is one of today's most creative, versatile, and deft authors, with an impressive publication list spanning a uniquely diverse range of fiction and non-fiction. I first became aware of his writing nearly 30 years ago, when I happened to pick up a paperback copy of his 1982 novel CRICKET and found it so absorbing and moving that I read it all in one sitting; I've admired and enjoyed all his subsequent work immensely. I just finished his most recently published book, SPINNING HISTORY: POLITICS AND PROPAGANDA IN WORLD WAR II. In my opinion, it’s one of his best. Being a great storyteller adds to his effectiveness as a non-fiction writer. His lively, direct, un-stuffy narrative style and his skill in organizing a vast amount of fascinating and well-researched information around a coherent framework of parallels between propaganda and theatre make this book a great read and an important contribution to the literature about World War II and the circumstances that led to it. It’s also extremely relevant to our own time: In addition to shedding light on a most intriguing aspect of World War II, SPINNING HISTORY serves as a crucial and compelling reminder of our responsibility to be on high alert to the power and danger of media manipulation in today's world as well. Santayana’s warning that “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” echoed constantly in my mind while I was reading this book. Although I was born shortly after World War II to parents who had served in it overseas and gave me a strong sense of that era and their experiences, and although I've always been keenly interested in the war's events and causes, I learned a tremendous amount from SPINNING HISTORY that I wasn’t previously aware of. As a university faculty member, I look forward to sharing this engaging, valuable, and informative book with colleagues and friends both within and outside of academia. I'm also eager to recommend it to students, as I know it will enrich and enliven their understandably dimmed sense of a monumentally important time that was already many decades distant when they were born. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 151071586X | | Best Sellers Rank | #905,704 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #243 in Propaganda & Political Psychology #3,253 in History & Theory of Politics #5,321 in World War II History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (25) | | Dimensions | 6.1 x 1.3 x 9.1 inches | | ISBN-10 | 9781510715868 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1510715868 | | Item Weight | 1.1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 312 pages | | Publication date | March 21, 2017 | | Publisher | Skyhorse | ## Images ![Spinning History: Politics and Propaganda in World War II - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81emAOrCPTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow *by K***R on October 21, 2025* An Interesting take on WWII.

However, on occasion, it seems like the author suddenly is trying to write a historical account rather than looking at the spin. That is, he just starts describing events without really relating them to the them. Not bad but makes it look a little sloppy. I also thought the book was about one chapter too long. He ran out of things to say and didn't really summarize too well. However, it is an interesting work and made me look a new way at some of the recent specials on television so it did generate thought...and that, to me, is a good thing. I would almost give it a 3.7 or so but went with the four. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/47372966-spinning-history-politics-and-propaganda-in-world-war-ii](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/47372966-spinning-history-politics-and-propaganda-in-world-war-ii) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
