{"product_id":"frequencies-of-deceit-margaret-elizabeth-peacock-9780520409743","title":"Frequencies of Deceit: How Global Propaganda Wars Shaped the Middle East","description":"On June 8, 1967, Egypt's most famous radio broadcaster, Ahmed Said, reported that Egyptian, Syrian, and Jordanian forces had defeated the Israeli army in the Sinai, had hobbled their British and US allies, and were liberating Palestine. It was a lie. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For the rest of his life, populations in the Middle East vilified Said for his duplicity. However, the truth was that, by 1967, all the world's major broadcasters to the Middle East were dissimulating on the air. For two decades, British, Soviet, American, and Egyptian radio voices created an audio world characterized by deceit and betrayal. In this important and timely book, Margaret Peacock traces the history of deception and propaganda in Middle Eastern international radio. Peacock makes the compelling argument that this betrayal contributed to the loss of faith in Western and secular state-led political solutions for many in the Arab world, laying the groundwork for the rise of political Islam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Elizabeth Peacock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520409744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520409743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Margaret Elizabeth Peacock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46311248232703,"sku":"9780520409743","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79d70052-6079-4d93-adf9-d8a376208c9b.jpg?v=1730888953","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/frequencies-of-deceit-margaret-elizabeth-peacock-9780520409743","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
