Abstract
- "All the Worst Humans: How I Made News for Dictators, Tycoons, and Politicians" is a memoir by Phil Elwood, a former PR man who reflects on his career in Washington, D.C. public relations firms. Elwood discusses his strategies for promoting spin to serve his clients' hidden agendas, including campaigns to influence the 2022 soccer World Cup bid and to portray the wife of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in a positive light. The memoir also delves into Elwood's work for Psy Group, an Israeli company involved in election-influencing services, which led to an investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller and subsequent personal struggles. The book offers a humorous and insightful exploration of the public relations industry and the tactics used to shape public perception. [Extracted from the article]
