I don't expect these to be particularly popular here, but I picked up a lot of little things in these that changed how I saw world propaganda in the 1990s.
Game of the Foxes (Farago) - the Nazi spy machine
A Man Called Intrepid (Stevenson) - Allied spy machine - compares nicely with Game of The Foxes
Infamy (Toland) - exposes some of FDR's underhanded activities
Recently read this one, and I suspect some of the names dropped would cross reference to some interesting names today. Making the connections might be more difficult now. I also wonder how many un-named players were lurking in the shadows influencing public opinion....
The Last Lion by Manchester - Vol II - Churchill's life in the 1930's - pay attention to the un-elected officials

I haven't read Vol III yet.
"A Man Called Intrepid" by Sir William Stevenson was a brilliant read! Read it many years ago and recommend it often.
