Until now, many sinister events that transpired in the clash of the
world's superpowers at the close of World War II and the ensuing
Cold War era have been ignored, distorted, and kept hidden from the
public. Through a careful survey of primary sources and disclosure
of formerly secret records, Evans and Romerstein have written a
riveting historical account that traces the vast deceptions that
kept Stalin's henchmen on the federal payroll and sabotaged U.S.
policy overseas. The facts presented here expose shocking
cover-ups, from the top FDR aides who threatened internal security
and free-world interests by exerting pro-Red influence on
U.S.policy, to the grand juries that were rigged, to the countless
officials of the Roosevelt and Truman administrations who turned a
blind eye to the penetration problem. Stalin's Secret Agents
convincingly indicts in historical retrospect the people
responsible for these corruptions of justice.
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.
