Iron FistsBranding the 20th-Century Totalitarian StateSteven Heller

This provocative survey reveals how four of the most destructive dictatorships of the 20th century – Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Soviet Russia and Communist China – used graphic design to sell their messages

Explores each regime’s distinctive strategies for seducing public opinion and infiltrating people’s lives, in media ranging from logos, flags, typefaces and posters to children’s books and figurines

Remarkable archival photographs set the disturbingly powerful graphic devices in historical context

The perceptive text analyzes how these four regimes established the most effective modes of visual propaganda, which were later adopted and adapted by many other dictatorships

Steven Heller, co-chair of the MFA Designer as Author and co-founder of the MFA in Design Criticism Programs at New York’s School of Visual Arts, was a Senior Art Director at the New York Times for 33 years. He now writes a column for the paper’s Book Review section. Heller, who is a contributing editor to PRINT, EYE and Baseline magazines, has authored and edited more than 100 books, including Paul Rand and Merz to Emigré and Beyond, also published by Phaidon.
