From the French and Indian War in 1754, with Benjamin Franklins Join
or Die cartoon, to the present war in Iraq, propaganda has played a
significant role in American history. The Historical Dictionary of
American Propaganda provides more than 350 entries, focusing primarily
on propaganda created by the U.S. government throughout its existence.
Two specialists, one a long-time research librarian at the U.S.
Information Agency (the USIA) and the State Departments Bureau of
Diplomacy, and the other a former USIA Soviet Disinformation Officer,
Martin J. Manning and Herbert Romerstein bring a profound knowledge of
official U.S. propaganda to this reference work. The dictionary is
further enriched by a substantial bibliography, including films and
videos, and an outstanding annotated list of more than 105 special
collections worldwide that contain material important to the study of
U.S. propaganda.
Students, researchers, librarians, faculty, and interested general
readers will find the Historical Dictionary of American Propaganda an
authoritative ready-reference work for quick information on a wide
range of events, publications, media, people, government agencies,
government plans, organizations, and symbols that provided mechanisms
to promote Americas interests, both abroad and domestically, in peace
and in war. Almost all entries conclude with suggestions for further
research, and the topically arranged bibliography provides a further
comprehensive listing of important resources, including films and
videos.
Review
"Dictionaries are usually dry but useful resources for moments of
uncertainty, Martin Manning, a research librarian in the Bureau of
Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs at the U.S. Department of State,
has created an uncharacteristic volume that tells an intriguing story
of U.S. and some foreign propaganda. More than a dictionary, it reads
like an encyclopedia and, for those so inclined, is worth reading from
front to back....[p]rovides a wealth of information, some of which
cannot be readily found elsewhere, and is a useful resource for
researchers interested in propagandas role in American history.
Readable and well organized, the book describes some of the worlds
most influential communication efforts. provides"-American Journalism
Book Description
Presents a comprehensive, authoritative ready-reference guide to
official U.S. propaganda, from colonial times to the present.
