Synopsis

First published in the wake of World War II (1948), Linebarger's Psychological Warfare is the primary introductory text on the use of overt and covert propaganda, still used today by students and researchers. It was updated in 1954 as the author grappled with the implications of the Cold War. This enhanced hardcover edition includes both the original 1948 text and the additional chapters of the second edition, along with a new introduction with biographical details by Joseph A. Dixon.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This edition, like the first, is the product of field experience. The author has made nine trips abroad, five of them to the Far East, since 1949. He has profited by his meeting with such personalities as Sir Henry Gurney, the British High Commissioner for the Federation of Malaya, who was later murdered by the Communists, meetings with Philippine, Republic of Korea, Chinese Nationalist, captured Chinese Communist and other personalities, as well as by association with such veterans in the field as General MacArthur's chief psywar expert, Colonel J. Woodall Greene. To Colonel Joseph I. Greene, who died in 1953, the author is indebted as friend and colleague. He owes much to the old friends, listed in the original acknowledgment, who offered their advice and comment in many instances.
