Best of Enemies - Britain and Germany - 100 Years of Truth and Lies

Zusatztext 'Agreeably readable' Informationen zum Autor Richard Milton is a writer, journalist and broadcaster who also works as a PR consultant. He is a principal presenter for The PR Training Centre in London and has lectured in PR and Journalism at Buckingham University. His other books include The Facts of Life (Fourth Estate, 1992) and Forbidden Science (Fourth Estate, 1994). Klappentext In August 1914 Britain's first act of war was not to mobilize its army or the Grand Fleet. It was to cut cables preventing German propaganda from reaching American newspapers. Richard Milton exposes the secrets of a relationship steeped in mutual admiration, blood and propaganda, focusing on two world wars and the period in between. It is surprising, powerful and necessary reading for anyone interested in the black arts of propaganda in warfare and how governments shape the opinions of their people. Zusammenfassung During WW1, Germany, Britain and the USA spent billions on clandestine propaganda to blacken each other's reputations. This effort gave birth to the PR industry itself - later seized upon by Nazi propagandist Goebbels to devastating effect. This work exposes the secrets of a relationship steeped in mutual admiration, blood and propaganda.
