{"product_id":"allied-communication-to-the-public-simon-eliot-9781350105126","title":"Allied Communication to the Public During the Second World War National and Transnational Networks","description":"In the Second World War, the home fronts of many countries became as important as the battle fronts. As governments tried to win and hold the trust of domestic and international audiences, communication became central to their efforts. This volume offers cutting-edge research by leading and emerging scholars on how information was used, distributed and received during the war. With a transnational approach encompassing Germany, Iberia, the Arab world and India, it demonstrates that the Second World War was as much a war of ideas and influence as one of machines and battles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimon Eliot, Marc Wiggam and the contributors address the main communication problems faced by Allied governments, including how to balance the free exchange of information with the demands of national security and wartime alliances, how to frame war aims differently for belligerent, neutral and imperial audiences and how to represent effectively a variety of communities in wartime propaganda. In doing so, they reveal the contested and transnational character of the ways in which information was conveyed during the Second World War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAllied Communication during the Second World War\u003c\/i\u003e offers innovative and nuanced perspectives on the thin border between information and propaganda during this global war and will be vital reading for World War II and media historians alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Eliot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350105120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350105126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Simon Eliot","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43948043960575,"sku":"9781350105126","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b24639c5-e2f7-4817-8116-031295a5d4ec.jpg?v=1681522287","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/allied-communication-to-the-public-simon-eliot-9781350105126","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
