Showing results for "Propaganda!" in History

A seminal and controversial figure in the history of political thought and public relations, Edward Bernays pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he famously dubbed the "engineering of consent". During World War I, he was an integral part of the US Committee on Public Information, or CPI, a powerful propaganda apparatus that was mobilized to package, advertise, and sell the war to the American people as one that would "Make the World Safe for Democracy".

Tra il 1945 e il 1954 Trieste fu teatro di una complessa partita diplomatica, militare e sociale che rifletteva tutte le tensioni del dopoguerra. La crisi triestina dimostrò quanto una “cittadina da quattro soldi” potesse, in realtà, rappresentare la posta in gioco simbolica e strategica per le sorti dell’Italia, dell’Europa e dello stesso ordine globale postbellico.“Trieste: una cittadina da quattro soldi” è un progetto realizzato da FIAP - Federazione Italiana delle Associazioni Partigiane, realizzato con il contributo del Ministero della Difesa.

“Not All Propaganda is Art” unravels the gripping tale of three iconic writers—Richard Wright, Dwight Macdonald, and Kenneth Tynan—who became entangled in the covert battles of the Cultural Cold War in the late 1950s. As the boundaries between art and influence blurred, these pivotal figures served as both collaborators and targets of American, British, and French security agencies, ensnared in a high-stakes propaganda war over fiercely contested ideas such as the critique of mass culture and the power of politically engaged art—debates that still resonate.

At a time when civilian periodicals faced strict censorship, the army’s chief of staff George Marshall won the support of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to create an expansive troop-newspaper program. Both Marshall and FDR recognized that there was a second struggle taking place outside the battlefields of World War II—the war of words. While Hitler inundated the globe with propaganda, morale across the US Army dwindled. As the Axis blurred the lines between truth and fiction, the best defense was for American troops to bring the truth into focus by writing it down.

Tyler and Clarke took Simmons' dying and broken KKK, with its 2,000-3,000 associates in Georgia and Alabama, and in a few short years swelled its membership to nearly five million.
