Censorship and Propaganda in World War I: A Comprehensive History

Autor Eberhard Demm
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 ian 2021
This book demonstrates how people were kept ignorant by censorship and indoctrinated by propaganda. Censorship suppressed all information that criticized the army and government, that might trouble the population or weaken its morale. Propaganda at home emphasized the superiority of the fatherland, explained setbacks by blaming scapegoats, vilified and ridiculed the enemy, warned of the disastrous consequences of defeat and extolled duty and sacrifice. The propaganda message also infiltrated entertainment and the visual arts. Abroad it aimed to demoralize enemy troops and stir up unrest among national minorities and other marginalized groups. The many illustrations and organograms provide a clear visual demonstration of Demm's argument.

Recenzii

It is an ambitious claim to call a single volume a comprehensive history of censorship and propaganda in World War I, yet Eberhard Demm has provided just such a book ... Demm's book can serve as a cornerstone for future research. Scholars will have to address Demm, whether it is to build upon his foundation or to question his conclusions. For that, historians should be grateful.
[A]n accomplishment of the first order on a topic as complex and nationally diversified as the subject at hand ... this book is a spectacular addition to the World War I literature for readers interested in the intersection of the social, political, and military histories of the conflict.
The range of sources and secondary literature are exhaustive and Demm has been able to incorporate a good deal of material gathered during his thirty-five-year career which results in a truly comprehensive volume invaluable to students and researchers at all levels.
The concise empirical narratives of controversial war-time events, at times complemented by illustrations, makes Censorship and Propaganda a must read for anyone in understanding the forces that maintain social order during war.
[Demm] offers many intriguing insights, especially comparative ones . [A] fascinating, wide-ranging look at how pervasive, multifaceted, and resourceful censors and propagandists were in every wartime society.
Eberhard Demm's international history of First World War censorship and propaganda is impressive in its scope, is a highly enjoyable read, and contributes substantially to the historiography of this understudied subject.
This new and highly comprehensive volume presents a depth of analysis around propaganda ... Demm's powerful writing continues to inspire and open the way to new thinkers on this topic, no matter their nationality.
The book [by] Eberhard Demms is recommended as an introduction to the history of the propaganda of the First World War. Not only does it provide a wealth of useful information on various dimensions of this problem, but it invites further questions.
The narrative style that is both investigatory and easy to follow ... allows the author to cover this vast and technical subject in about 300 pages. The book ends by an exhaustive bibliography, an interesting iconographic section and perhaps the largest collection of organisational charts published on the subject.
