War Propaganda and American Attitudes

This chapter explores the historical evolution of American perceptions of militarism and war propaganda, particularly from the early 20th century. It highlights the influential role of British propaganda and government censorship in shaping public support for U.S. involvement in World Wars I and II, as well as the deep connections between media, education, and government policies. The discussion reveals how these tactics have led to an ingrained acceptance of executive power in foreign affairs and influenced contemporary military actions.
