Why America Fights : Patriotism And War Propaganda From The Philippines To Iraq

Attribution
Susan A. Brewer
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 2009
Description
In World War II, Roosevelt’s Office of War Information avowed a “strategy of truth,” though government propaganda still depicted Japanese soldiers as buck-toothed savages. After examining the ultimately failed struggle to cast the Vietnam War in a favorable light, Brewer shows how the Bush White House drew explicit lessons from that history as it engaged in an unprecedented effort to sell a preemptive war in Iraq.

Total Cold War : Eisenhower’s Secret Propaganda Battle At Home And Abroad

Attribution
Kenneth Osgood
Publication Details
Book, University of Kansas, 2006
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
When President Dwight Eisenhower spoke of waging “total cold war,” he was proposing nothing less than a global, all-embracing battle for hearts and minds. U.S. psychological warfare programs blurred the lines between foreign and domestic propaganda with campaigns that both targeted the American people and enlisted them as active participants in global contest for public opinion. Osgood’s distinctive interpretation places Cold War propaganda campaigns in the context of an international arena drastically changed by the communications revolution and the age of mass politics and total war.

The Rhetorical Presidency, Propaganda, And The Cold War, 1945-1955

Attribution
Shawn J. Parry-Giles
Publication Details
Book, Praeger, 2002
Description
As the presidents minimized congressional control over propaganda operations, they institutionalized propaganda as a presidential tool, expanded the means by which they and their successors could perform the rhetorical presidency, and increased presidential power over the country’s Cold War message, naturalizing the Cold War ideology that resonates yet today.
