{"product_id":"australasian-propaganda-and-the-vietnam-caroline-page-9781441127013","title":"Australasian Propaganda and the Vietnam War: Selling America's War","description":"The Vietnam War was the first war that Australia and New Zealand fought without British combat involvement, and it signalled a radical realignment of their foreign policies - towards the United States and away from Britain. The propaganda campaign needed to justify this new foreign policy departure was, therefore, particularly important. This volume focuses on the efforts of the Australian and New Zealand Governments to 'sell' the deeply divisive Vietnam War, and their combat involvement in it, to their respective populations. It examines the propaganda campaigns conducted, and assesses the reasons for the successes and failures of those campaigns. It also evaluates the official rhetoric on the war, comparing this to both the private views held by government officials, and the type and amount of information that these officials received from their own sources and those of the U.S. administrations and UK governments. \u003ci\u003eAustralasian Propaganda and the Vietnam Wa\u003c\/i\u003er\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eexamines the impact of this controversial conflict on these countries, and its legacy for Australian and New Zealand foreign policies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caroline Page\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441127011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441127013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Caroline Page","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071456669951,"sku":"9781441127013","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_165cc398-46f4-402b-b50b-10b5df49df75.jpg?v=1685436203","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/australasian-propaganda-and-the-vietnam-caroline-page-9781441127013","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
