Description
Propaganda, Power and Persuasion From World War I to Wikileaks by David Welch. The development of mass media in the 20th century created new opportunities for propaganda. Global conflict drove its growth, but the term has become somewhat ambiguous. This book explores the techniques of 'opinion management' from World War I to the war in Afghanistan, revealing how state leaders and spin doctors sought to shape public attitudes at home and abroad. The study and practice of propaganda are deeply rooted in its history. By examining the evolution of these techniques, Welch provides insight into how the study of propaganda is shaped by its past. This book offers a compelling look at the power of persuasion and its enduring impact on modern politics.
