From the French and Indian War in 1754, with Benjamin Franklin's
"Join or Die" cartoon, to the present Iraqi conflict, 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
Department's 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 listing 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 America's 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.
