Putting Props full forward to slow the plane down

On approach, you can put your props full forward to slow the plane down (like an airbrake sorta).

Can somehow explain the theory behind how this works?

Putting the props full forward at say 220 knots sets the angle of attack for the prop to a less than efficient angle, creating more prop induced drag?
