Propaganda, Information and Psychological Warfare: Cold War and Hot PROPAGANDA, INFORMATION AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE: COLD WAR AND HOT A List of Holdings Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library Page 1 of 69 Page 2 of 69 Compiled by: David J. Haight April 2008 INTRODUCTION Such terms as “information,” “political warfare,” “propaganda,” “psychological strategy,” and “psychological warfare” are frequently used, often interchangeably, but are difficult to define. In preparing this guide, the Library staff recognizing this difficulty, have, therefore, interpreted the meanings of these related words broadly to cover actions, activities, symbols, thoughts, beliefs and media aimed at influencing public opinion at home and abroad. Efforts to “win the hearts and minds” of people have been attempted through many means including such conventional methods as radio and television broadcasts, public speeches, leaflets, newspapers, and the like. In addition, these efforts have covered such things as trade fairs, cultural diplomacy (a term which may itself mean different things to different people), the People-to-People program as well as actions of governments themselves and developments within countries. For example, efforts to restore and protect civil rights for minority groups within the United States certainly had and continue to have an impact on opinion at home and abroad. Wide use of labels such as “Free World,” is, itself, a form of propaganda intended to influence particular audiences. One of the best known “psychological warriors,” C.D. Jackson, pointed out that psychological warfare (or any of its related terms) cannot be separated from the actions of the sponsoring entity (in Jackson’s case and in most instances listed herein, the United States Government). Instead, each policy implemented or action taken by the government has an impact on national and/or international opinion. This guide includes a select bibliography of works which address various aspects of information (or propaganda). Users are urged to consult these and other studies of the subject to gain a better understanding of information and propaganda activities. Please also note that given the nature of the subject matter covered by this guide, it is highly unlikely that all possible sources of documentation in the Library’s holdings on this topic are cited herein. Therefore, the guide should be considered as a supplement to, rather than a replacement for, finding aids to the Library’s 530-plus manuscript collections.

A major generalization from that work was that government had played an important role in the development of almost every general purpose technology in which the United States was internationally competitive. Preparation for several speaking engagements following the publication of the book led to a reexamination of what I had written. It became clear to me that defense and defense related institutions had played a predominant role in the development of many of the general purpose technologies that I had discussed. The role of military and defense related research, development and procurement was sitting there in plain sight. But I was unable or unwilling to recognize it! It was with considerable reluctance that I decided to undertake the preparation of the book I discuss in this paper, Is War Necessary for Economic Growth? Military Procurement and Technology Development.

  • Allen W. Dulles and the CIA
    THE GILDED AGE Allen W. Dulles and the CIA Allen W. Dulles spent his tenure as the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) entrenched in secret power struggles that would ensure his ultimate power over the foreign and domestic aff airs for the United States. Th roughout his childhood, Dulles learned to use political power in order to get ahead, and to use secrecy to make unilateral deci- sions. Aft er analyzing examples of his treatment of various foreign aff airs disasters, as well as his manipulation of American media and politicians, Dulles is exposed as a man whose legacy lives in the CIA, as a legendary fi gure who is in fact much more of a craft ed legend than a man of truth.

What methods did Dulles use to manipulate the press, the public, and even the other branches of govern- ment to bring forth an agency with “a great reputation and a terrible record?”5 Dulles made the CIA seem like an elite agency full of top agents resulting in high risk, high reward missions—how is this reconciled with the reality of the CIA under Dulles’ reign?

The Seattle Foundation’s commitment to building a healthy community for all King County residents remains as strong as ever. In 2008, with our donors, we granted more than $63 million to over 2000 organizations and promising initiatives in King County and beyond. Though our assets declined like most investments nationwide, The Seattle Foundation’s portfolio performed well when benchmarked against comparable endowments. In the longer term, The Seattle Foundation has outperformed portfolios comprised of traditional stocks and bonds due to prudent and responsible stewardship of charitable funds that has been the basis of our investment strategy for decades. The Seattle Foundation is also leading efforts to respond to increasing need in our community. Late last year The Seattle Foundation joined forces with the United Way of King County and other local funders to create the Building Resilience Fund—a three-year, $6 million effort to help local people who have been hardest hit by the economic downturn. Through this fund, we are bolstering the capacity of selected nonprofits to meet increasing basic needs and providing a network of services to put people on the road on self-reliance.

Goldzwig 8 I do not believe that any of the Presidents who have been involved with Viet- nam, Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, or President Nixon, foresaw or desired that the United States would become involved in a large scale war in Asia. But the fact remains that a steady progression of small decisions and actions over a period of 20 years had forestalled a clear-cut decision by the President or by the President and Congress—decision as to whether the defense of South Vietnam and involvement in a great war were necessary to the security and best interest of the United States. —Senator John Sherman Cooper (R-KY), Congressional Record, 1970 n his 1987 doctoral thesis, General David Petraeus wrote of Vietnam: “We do not take the time to understand the nature of the society in which we are f ght- Iing, the government we are supporting, or the enemy we are f ghting.”1 After World War II, when the United States chose Vietnam as an area for nation building as part of its Cold War strategy, little was known about that exotic land.

  • Crusade in Europe Dwight D
    Crusade in Europe Dwight D. Eisenhower Doubleday & Company, Inc., New York, 1948 Signed by Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower, Churchill, Truman, Marshall, MacArthur and fifteen other iconic wartime leaders with an extraordinary correspondence archive chronicling the campaign to secure the signatures between 1949 and 1957 This ranks among the most compelling pieces of Second World War memorabilia we have seen – a truly singular copy of the limited edition of Eisenhower’s war memoirs, signed by two American presidents, two British prime ministers, three U.S. secretaries of state, a first lady, thirteen legendary U.S. generals (one of whom became a president), and a British Field Marshal. Among the twenty-one signatories are two Nobel Peace Prizes recipients, two Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, and more honorifics and awards than can plausibly be enumerated. Equally extraordinary is the accompanying archive of correspondence detailing how these signatures were collected by a Second World War veteran with remarkable persistence, resourcefulness, and no small amount of luck over a period of nearly a decade. ______________________________________________________________________________ Churchill Book Collector San Diego, CA, USA www.churchillbookcollector.com [email protected] 619-384-7992 The Signatures The signatures gathered in this book come from an unprecedented assemblage of civilian and military leaders who made the history that this book chronicles. ______________________________________________________________________________ Churchill Book Collector San Diego, CA, USA www.churchillbookcollector.com [email protected] 619-384-7992 The signatories include: Henry Harley “Hap” Arnold Bernard Mannes Baruch Omar Nelson Bradley James Francis “Jimmy” Byrnes Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill Mark Wayne Clark Lucius DuBignon Clay James Harold “Jimmy” Doolittle Robert Anthony Eden, 1st Earl of Avon Dwight David Eisenhower Mamie Doud Eisenhower Leonard Townsend Gerow Cordell Hull Douglas MacArthur George Catlett Marshall, Jr.

Throughout the course of my studies, he has taught me how to prioritize, summarize, clarify and most importantly to engage and write like an historian and not simply copy-and-paste interesting facts that previous books and articles did not mention.
