Propaganda has been a major tool of war from the earliest times and
has never been more vital, and had no greater effect, than in the
20th century - a time of continuous global conflict and two world
wars. This title includes contributions from leading academics,
media professionals and from the armed services. All aspects are
covered: the Press; radio and television, state information
services; "virtual war" and psychological operations. The 20th
century has seen major shifts in the relationship between war and
propaganda, fuelled by the huge technological advances, making
propaganda and censorship increasingly potent weapons. The text
covers conflict from the Boer War, British and German propaganda in
World War I and World War II, the Cold War, the Gulf War and
Kosovo. An important aspect - not generally realized except among
media professionals - is the control of propaganda by the Ministry
of Defence which has access to the largest single television
audience in the world through "BBC World". The role of propaganda
in the "war against terror" is also analysed in detail.
